Subject: [hiaps] extra identifier need in SFC

Hi all,

Last May we had submitted a draft

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sarikaya-sfc-address-sharing-in-sfc-00

on  host identification problem in SFC which addresses some related use cases and aims at discussion on corresponding requirements and architecture issues.

In http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-boucadair-sfc-design-analysis-03.txt  where solution design options are analyzed and recommendations given, the need for an additional identifier is also mentioned.

We are not sure whether this (not SFC specific) problem may call for solutions complimentary to those for use cases which are currently considered in SFC.

To not overload or burden the WG with this issue at this time we think it may be useful to proceed with discussions on these and possibly other related use cases on the hiaps list ([email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>) dealing with Host Identification, Address and Prefix Sharing to take it up and go from there.

What do you think?

We invite SFC'ers to join hiaps if not already done and help us tackle this problem.

Regards,

Dirk and Behcet
