Re: [44net] - > What about the future ?

Topological routing as you have pointed out is one of it. Let me elaborate on the second idea: lots of isolated /32 hosts or /28 subnets: Sure, if I need to load the entire routing table to every node, this will not scale. But a single node will not need the full routing table typically. Only a few entries are interesting at a single time. So if you have a dynamic lookup facility of the gateway address, you could populate your routing tables on demand. This facility could be realized by means of a distributed hash table, so there is no single point of failure. And yes the optimal routing is done by the core internet in such a use case. But again this clearly is a different use than topological routing, and it possibly would be a good idea to separate the IP address space between such uses at a coarse level. 73 de Roland oe1rsa -- __________________________________________ _ _ | Roland Schwarz |_)(_ | | \__) | mailto:roland.schwarz@blackspace.at ________| http://www.blackspace.at
