my candidate of the season is rfc 2547,mpls vpns. consider what it will
do to your bgp table and the load on the PEs when you have say 100k vpns.
and we have customers who want over 1k vpns each. makes you love ipsec,
eh?
the ietf *really* needs more operator participation. and it is the
operators who will pay the long term penalties for not participating, in
both overly complex equipment and in labor compensating for overly
complex or jus plain bad designs.
