It isn't just about "imminient death of the net predicted" though - our reliance on the current BGP model for route adverisement is restricting the deployment of better connectivity paradigms. For example I know there are enterprises that would like to multihome but they find the current mechanism a barrier to this - for a start they can't justify the size of PI space that would guarantee them entry to the global routing table. ISPs differentiate between "regular" and "BGP-capable" connections - is this desirable for the evolution of the Internet? or is it the reason that BGP appears to be able to cope, because ISPs are throttling the potential growth? LISP is about seperating the role of the ISP (as routing provider) from the end user or content provider/consumer. Aled
