Re: [RRG] Long term clean-slate only for the RRG?

Perhaps it's a lack of imagination, but I seem to find myself in a maze
of twisty passages every time I head down this path. I'd like to
explore scaling alternatives for the routing system that aren't tied to
loc/id splits, but I have thus far failed to figure out what that might
possibly be.

Isn't a look at Google map helpful,e.g.showing a path from New York to San Francisco. If you scroll from the start to the destination at reasonably close zoom you will realize that, in comparison, the internet with e.g. 210 k DFZ -routers is very very very small. And yet has this scalability problem !?? IMO, Google ashames IETF. The loc/id-split gets close to the problem, but still fails. It is one part to get to the egress router, another one to get from there to the egress user, and it is not the network layer's business to care about session layer's identifying points. There, I guess, there is no problem. The problem is inside the network layer.
