Re: [rrg] NERD

Hi Robin,

I very much agree with You and I find surprising the recommendation from 
Eliot to give up work on it.

IMHO we should not dismiss it. LISP-NERD is very much alike other 
approaches where we store all the mappings in ITRs/ETRs/APRs depending 
where we place such ITR/ETR/APR nodes.

Sure perhaps requiring every CE to store all mappings is a stretch, but 
we are told from every side that control plane memory is cheap. In fact 
the scaling numbers presented by NERD were quite promising.

Thx,
R.
