	Yakov:

	It seems to me that there are two fundamental choices, and
one basic design issue, that are the ones which you may not like. They
are:

1) Use of a Link State (as opposed to Destination Vector) scheme
2) Use of Source Routing (as opposed to Hop-by-Hop) scheme

A) Given use of SR, to do so via Flow Setup (rather than Per Packet)

Which of these do you not like, and why?
