[rrg] Operational experience with cache based mapping ID

Hi folks,

There was a suggestion at grow this morning that we produce a ID on
operational experience with cache-based mapping systems. Systems like
the DNS have been very successful. On the other hand, I still remember
worms sending to random destinations on a 56k modem DOSing a Cisco
2500 because of the route cache. It would be very helpful to determine
what factors allow a caching strategy to be successful and what
factors tend to lead to failure.

I think this is very relevant to a number of the solution strategies
under discussion on RRG, not just LISP. So, is anyone else interested
in organizing the effort? If not, I volunteer.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
