LISP et. al requires a rather complicated deployment and would be even more complex to troubleshoot when it fails.
What I am proposing could, literally, be deployed with the existing system still running as it does. The difference would be that for packets containing a dest-as field, we would (initially) have the option of routing to destination based on that field and ignoring the prefix.
I would love to see a more formal specification ala a IETF draft about it and/or a short preso style thing along with a comparison of existing proposals and how this is different/better.
What I am proposing, however, requires us to add fields to the packet header (at the source)
Well, we have IPv6 extension headers and the flow-label is still undefined too ;) Greets, Jeroen
