Topics for discussion:
	
  Are there other solutions which have been specified?

  The solutions present the problem at different scopes;

     Where should the IETF tackle it?

     Are some short-term, and other long-term?

     Can the solutions be staged or co-exist?

     If staged, how to migrate from one to another?

  What are the next steps for the IETF?


NB:  This BoF is exploratory in nature, and it is not intended that the IETF
will finalize a decision in this venue.  It was proposed to foster a
community discussion, not charter a working group or pick a winner.
If further work is required, step one would be identifying individuals
willing to carry that work forward.
