[Dime] comments on draft-tsou-dime-realm-based-redirect-00

["Glen Zorn" <gwz at net-zen.net>]

Section 2 says:

   Note that regardless of which approach is used, the original operator
   cannot escape the necessity to specify at least one individual
   Redirect-Host in indications to upstream Diameter nodes that cannot
   handle realm-based redirection.

That being the case, this capability seems pretty much useless.  Presumably,
one of the main purposes of realm-based redirection is to allow SPs to avoid
keeping track of Diameter nodes in other realms, but if one node needs to be
tracked, why not all?  Therefore, I think that this draft needs to be
changed to either a) define a new application (so that realm-based
redirection support can be advertised) or b) changed to Standards-Track &
stated to update RFC 3588.
