Dear all,

We have posted the draft below to seed a wider RTG WG discussion on routing evolution, based on various ongoing interactions and discussions within the IETF and IRTF on this topic. 

This draft recognizes the ongoing evolution of Internet routing based on the many extensions to the original reachability-focused purpose of IP routing, identifies issues with the approach of developing those extensions, and proposes a way forward in direct relation to the RTG WG charter. 

We are seeking feedback and comments from the WG on the topic of routing evolution, particularly on the suggested actions as well as issues identified in the draft. 

Best,

Dirk (on behalf of the authors)

Abstract:
   This document discusses the evolution of the Internet routing system
   beyond mere reachability.  We observe, through examples of past
   development, that such evolution has been taking place to improve on
   capabilities of the Internet, deal with more complicated network
   deployments and cater to changing requirements by end users as well
   as novel and emerging applications.

   For achieving a routing system that serves more than a singular
   reachability purpose, more information is taken into account when
   performing the purpose-specific functions.  Such extra information
   can be obtained by extending current routing protocols to exchange
   more information or by carrying that information within packets.

   This document is intended to seed discussions of how the observed
   evolution of the Internet's routing system can continue, what issues
   may occur when simply continuing the current approach for achieving
   routing beyond 'mere' reachability and what may be needed to address
   those issues.  Ultimately, however, this document recognizes the
   positive impact that moving beyond reachability has brought to the
   Internet and will continue to do so.
