Flow-through PD does, but hasn't been described in an RFC: there is no mechanism for autonomously configuring the relay structure or installing routes.   So I think it's appropriate to do this work in ANIMA (I know there is no enthusiasm for it in homenet).   Or, if that turns out to be an inadequate solution, to do something else.

I hope someone tells that to Cablelabs, I thought eRouter spec had hierarchical PD (=hipnet).

ANIMA’s current solution[1] does not seem to deal with autonomously configuring the delegation hierarchy, or routes in general at all currently.

What does flow-through PD mean? Do you have any reference on that?
