Only scope and address are concerned. That will choose a common TLA (ISP) which is good, but failing (which will happen often) that it will choose a common registry (i.e. continent), and this is usually either meaningless or sub-optimal (especially outside North America). If we have a BGP RIB, we should be able to do better at picking both destination and and source addresses, no? And if we can do better w/o using portable address space, we can keep multihomed sites from cluttering the no default zone with portable address space. brad To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
