Re: [RRG] Consensus? End-user networks need their own portable address space

We need an architecture that solves the scalability problem in routers,
while simultaneously providing easy multihoming and easy connectivity
change for customer networks.  The architecture must be made compatible
with v6.

IMO v6 ( and v4) must be made compatible with an architecture which solves the scalability problem - and not the other way around.
 
Recommendation: Try GOOGLE MAP, search for a route from New York to San Francisco and scroll along the blue path such closely zoomed so that you can see the entire tightly meshed network of  the roads and streets. You may notice, that the internet is much lesser meshed and much smaller - and yet there is no scalability problem at all, only smarter routing  technology. And we could do smarter routing too, well by adequate routing technology (smartest (!!!) topology aggregation) and not by entering that we want to visit some friends, and please find out by yourself, that these friends live in San Francisco.
 
Going for a long-term solution means giving up address aggregation from the 90s. It is the wrong paradigm. Not smarter address aggregation but smarter than Dijkstra routing is needed.
