Admin Scope Zones

Mark Handley presented a new technique for admin scope zone discovery. The idea is that larger scope zones can be flooded through local scope zones using an address from the local scoped zone. Border routers perform reverse path checks and forward requests to neighbouring small zones.

David Meyer discussed the assignment of admin scoped addresses

• How to do assignment?
• What is an "appropriate" assignment/allocation?
• Who is the allocation "authority"
• Additional document required?
• Appropriate scopes? Multiple scopes?
• Put TBDs in document
• Add reference to document describing assignment guidelines
• SvrLoc needs 1024 assignments and can't really work with only 1 well-known addresses
• Single globally assigned group to bootstrap and get more addresses (scoped using the globally assigned group).
