[ changes to current policies, not architecture, elided ]
let's first agree on some goals
o really big address space, not the v6 fixed 32 bit limited game. (old dogs will now bay for variable length, aroooooo!)
woof!
o a routing system which has the ability to scale really well in the presence of fewer and fewer nodes (think sites) where out-degree == 1
sure... maybe. is there the presumption of e2e here?
o mobility
process mobility? latency tolerent? any distinction btwn individual nodes or whole networks? need clarity here.
o really scalable v4 backward compatibility so that we don't have the end-user-affecting mess which looms in a few years
well... not so sure about this one. why do we care?
anything else?
