Re: Khaled Routing Protocol (KRP) ID Submission.

Hi!

I took a quick look at your draft.  It seems to be proposing a way to assign IP 
addresses so that they contain information about regions and autonomous systems 
– and then suggesting that forwarding can be done based on that.  But you are 
not proposing a routing protocol (packet formats, protocol details, etc.)...

Note that the IETF has been responsible for defining IPv4/IPv6, but it is not 
responsible for the assignment of IP addresses, which seems to be the central 
point of your proposal.  IANA is responsible for allocating address blocks to 
the regional registries [1], but the allocation has already been such that it 
is too late to change the policies (which are not set by the IETF either) to 
match what you propose.

I recommend that you review the existing policies and what each organization is 
in charge of doing before writing another proposal.

If you want to have further discussions on this topic, please feel free to 
contact me directly.

Regards,

Alvaro.

I sent my 2nd ID to all the ietf list as well so I can find a suggestion where 
this ID should be discussed and those on the list can know about KHALED Routing 
Protocol (KRP) so maybe someone is interested in my new draft as there are 
things expected to be added to make this ID in the best form.
