It smells remarkably like pathalias to me ;-)
except that I'm not proposing that border routers do source routing,
just that they map from PI identifiers to PA locators and prepend a
header that causes the payload to be routed to the locator.
And that sounds exactly like pathalias and what the Usenet/SMTP smart
routers did, yes? Hopefully though they wouldn't require as much CPU
power to calculate as pathalias database required --- as I recall Erik
Fair at Apple used a Cray for that purpose, because he didn't like
waiting.... :-)
