One quick difference - the PSTN only has to make a single routing decision per call. Internet routers usually decide on a per-packet basis.
- IPv6 is not the answer to our routability problems, but it will vastly accelerate the reachability problems we already have. Provider-based prefixing will be a breaking dike once it becomes obvious to people that geographical or organizational hierarchies cannot be dictated over business needs.
Agreed. Sounds good in theory, but I wouldn't bet on most organizations being happy with keeping these hierarchies intact. - Steve ______________________________________________ #include <dispensa.mwis.net/std_disclaimer.h>
