Doesn't the issue persist independent of the characteristics based onwhich a path gets selected? Independent of *how* a path gets selected, you need to decide *who* selects it (or who selects which part of it).Well, that's true of course. But nothing can change the fact that the originating host chooses the source address and destination address that the packet starts out with, and all subsequent choices depend on that.
Brian, fully agree, but my point is that our new routing architecture may give more control to the sender: By selecting a transit address in addition to an edge address, the sender will be able to fix an intermediate point on the route towards the receiver. Thereby, it will be able to select the ingress link at the receiving edge network. Today, it is the /receiving/ edge network that selects the ingress link -- through BGP. - Christian -- to unsubscribe send a message to rrg-request@psg.com with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://psg.com/lists/rrg/> & ftp://psg.com/pub/lists/rrg
