Subject: Re: [Int-area] Continuing the addressing discussion: what is an 
address anyway?

So, when i am roaming from another country, would that carrier not try to 
connect to my home carrier by the combination of MCC and MNC ?

That feature to me would make MCC+MNC similar to a routing prefix, right ?

[AFT] The main difference in my view is that in mobile roaming ecosystems, you 
can't really route a packet to a specific network operator by going through a 
kind of transit provider that would take all the roaming requests for a single 
country (or at least this is how I remember things). I miss the possibility to 
aggregate part of the routing prefixes in IPvX to consider this an addressing 
scheme. From a topological standpoint, it means that you can't really use a 
transit intermediate that goes somewhat in the direction of the destination to 
route roaming traffic (at least in my view).
