Re: shim-aware transports



Hi Geoff,

I just became worried when you started to infer that the IP layer might need to have state specific to different transport / session specific state:

... It also infers that an individual session may want to trigger a locator change that appears to be an isolated request - in which case there appears to be a logical need for dynamic shim state forking in some form (i.e. a shim state may state in a general host-to-host state, but individual sessions may 'fork' out of this general state by requesting individual locator change trigger settings, for example.)

But maybe I was misreading your words.

This is also very much related to what a locator really is, given that IP no more transparent...
