Hi Curtis, Curtis Villamizar writes:
This proposal is inadequate. The whole point of hierarchical authorization is to add some checks to the CIDR prefix (radix tree) hierarchy which this does not address at all.
The proposal is not intended to address the question (or provide an implementation) of authorization based on the CIDR prefix hierarchy. There remains much controversy on that point, which I was specifically trying to avoid in order to make progress in an agreed upon direction. My proposal is intended to provide some clearly desirable form of authorization, which everyone seems to want, while the issues surrounding CIDR prefix hierarchical authorization get settled. Perhaps the title "AS Route Announcement Authorization" would be more accurate? Greetings, -- Carol
