Hi,

Resending this email because we fell foul of a filter on the mailing list that is designed to reduce the traffic related to conferences.

Best,
Adrian

Hi IRTF,

We have just posted "Challenges for the Internet Routing Infrastructure Introduced by Changes in Address Semantics" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-king-irtf-challenges-in-routing/).

This is an attempt to survey the issues and existing research related to the impact on the routing system of the many and varied proposals to add semantics to IP (chiefly IPv6) addresses. Where we are unable to find existing research, we are trying to collect the research questions that we think need to be addressed [sic].

Obviously, this is just a -00 version of the draft and it has a long way to go both in terms of clarity and literature search.

We would very much appreciate comments and thoughts. In particular, if you are aware of any ongoing or published research in the area of semantic addressing or the consequences in routing, we would like to hear about it.

Response direct to the authors or on this list (until we're told it is not appropriate for this list 😉)

Best,
Adrian (for the authors)
