Re: Shim6, was: Re: filtering /48 is going to be necessary

I don't think the term means what Masataka thinks it means, because nobody in this discussion is talking in terms of circuits rather than packet routing.

Geographical addressing can tend towards "bellhead thinking", in the sense that it assumes a small number (one?) of suppliers servicing all end users in a geographical area, low mobility, higher traffic volumes towards other end-users in the same or a close geography, relative willingness to renumber when a permanent change of location does occur, and simple, tightly defined interconnects where these single-suppliers can connect to the neighbouring single-supplier and their block of geography. I'm not sure he's right, but I think I understand what he's getting at. Regards, Tim.
