Re: [PCN] PCN WG last call for draft-ietf-pcn-architecture-05.txt



I am sorry, but you probably do not know about all experiments regarding PCN even if it was not denoted PCN at that time. We started nine years ago, so there several experiments that have not ben presented in this forum. many of the discussion are identical what we investigated at that time. 

We also discussed the trunk vs hose model (and combination of them) and the issues regarding scalalabillity of the trunk-model is a real issue. The number of trunks is cuasing a N^2 mesh configuration problem.

Georgios,

sorry for the rude reaction yesterday.

I appreciate the contribution of you and your team to the experiments around PCN as I do appreciate all other PCN experiments known to me. 

This holds whether the text of the architecture document remains as is or not. 

Regards,

Ruediger

Hi Ruediger

As I shown in previous emails, the definition of the HOSE model covers an wide area and its interpretation depends on the context.
Thus the mentioned model can be seen as a HOSE model in the PCN context.

As you could follow the discussion with Steven, this model is not out of the PCN WG scope.

Best regards,
Georgios
