I would disagree here, the statement "autonomic" or "fully autonomic" is perfectly
fitting for the kind of networks this algorithms can be used in. It can certainly
also be used in professionally managed networks or do you see any reason why it
cannot?

This said, it does not necessarily mean that it is a perfect fit for all kinds of
these networks, but nobody did claim that either. It is extensible though so there
is no way to discard it for these usecases that easily.


Cheers,

Steven
