like Paul, i'm not commenting on the specific technical value of the draft. i haven't read the updated version of the draft. however, when i read the previous version, i remember that to be practical it requires a greenfield implementation or would have to be represented in a dns system other than the one common root system used on the internet. almost as if it could just as easily be an entirely standalone namemapping system instead of DNS. also, as i recall when this draft was discussed before: 1) On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 07:52:50PM +0200, Phil Regnauld wrote: > I would put it much more concisely: this is a solution looking > for a problem. 2) this draft seemed to be the result of some thesis project in the p2p space that aimed to solve the thesis problems by changing dns rather than solving the problems by utilizing dns 3) there was much assumption and conclusions that weren't anywhere near consensus. at minimum there existed so many empty phrases ("IPv6 is large") as to hide value that could be taken away and reorganized into a draft that this WG could do something with, if we had a problem this draft could address. i'll try and find time to read the new version to see if anything changed, but based on the last draft, i don't think this should be a WG priority or work-item without first a problem statement that we can all agree on. -- bill _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
