Is someone volunteering to work on an RFC? Or, has someone done so for this already?
I have never heard of anything along that line. It is just something that has wandered through my mind from time to time wondering why nobody had ever done such a thing as it seems so easy. All you need is to increase the standard transit MTU a little bit so your encapsulation doesn't result in a bunch of additional packet fragmentation due to the encap overhead and create the new DNS AA RR and that would be about all that is required. If your network is an end user, you just announce one route ... your ASN ... to your transit providers and any peers. A transit operation announces their ASN and any they are collecting from peers. They hard part is getting all the end nodes to use IPIP tunneling as their primary protocol by default. It is doable but that is the hard part.
