Hello (if there is anybody? Has been quite silent recently.)
Recently we have been discussing (e.g. RRG process clarification discussion) about how to classify different approaches.

Is there a "Transport" based proposal on the table? I know that Mark Handly's work has been referred earlier, but is it really meeting the design goals? Particularly I am curious to see how a transport (or a solution that is in the end points) can possibly solve the routing scalability problem that is in the core of the network. How is the number of the routing entries going to be decreased with transport level solution? I can clearly see that multihoming is be solved but not the primary goal of scalability. Any thoughts?
If there is not idea how the scalability is improved then it looks to me that "transport" solutions are not addressing the problem space and we can drop them at least until there is a proposal that also addresses the scalability part.
