Michuki,
I think you are limited to the current implementation technology thus u mention in the lines of AS numbers and the likes.
Please define the limitations that you referring to. But remember a need is
the one that leads to cutting edge tweaks and hacks to deliver solutions.
Are you talking about LISP?
I understand the current limitation is the AS numbers,
What limitations are you referring to specifically? but isnt that
similar to the prefix in a mobile number?
Am sorry but the Mobile number is not equal to an ASN. Maybe the Country code and area code can be somewhat similar in analogy to an ASN but thats not a ideal analogy to use either. Considering IPv6 and the AS
numbers, I can say the reason we need AS numbers is because BGP requires them.
Am not sure i fully understand what you directing to. Its like saying the reason we need country codes is because its required by SIP or H323 or SS7 ... makes sense? Regards, Michuki.
