Hi Lixia, Yes, by "portable" I meant:To me a PI prefix has 2 separable meanings: globally uniqueness, and portability.I tried to give a short version in my original message: http://psg.com/lists/rrg/2008/msg01310.html End-user networks need their own portable address space. In the context of this discussion, it is assumed the space is globallyreachable - and "their own" implies the address space is globally unique.
Robin, thanks for your long and detailed reply (I wish I could write that fast:)
I tend to identify separable issues. We agree that a PI prefix really means 2 things, and portability is only one of the two. That's all my msg last night intends to clarify.
I agree with you too that RRG aims at an architectural solution to routing scalability problem, the topic pursued on another ongoing thread
..... BTW, can you or anyone else point me to the "Handley Proposal"?
