I'll read into that ... My idea is that if you know the geographic source of a route, you can make cold-potato routing decisions while still receiving full advertisements from your peers at each peering point. Every advertised route could be matched against a ruleset which attaches preference to it based on distance. --matt On Thu, 23 Sep 1999, Jack Crowder wrote:
Two words: IP Mobility. I always thought it was more marketing than content but that doesn't stop some applications from being developed to use it. My guess would be that you'd have more trouble getting people to agree on how the 'carve' would happen than the implementation. Then of course there are the hackers who would love to mess with it. To answer your question, all I ever heard about this was (the rumor of) a draft RFC. I couldn't find it though so wasn't able to confirm. (That was about 5 months ago).
