I believe part of the rationale was to avoid dependence upon TCP/IP,
although I don't see a problem with that, since I suppose TP4 or any
other reliable transport would work just fine in other stacks. Certainly
there are conceptual advantages if nothing else to having stream oriented
service compared with a packet oriented interface.
The other problem might be the idea of a layering violation, but I
personally see routing information distribution (notice I didn't say
routing period) as an application, not really even part of the network
layer anyway.
Can some opponents of ROT (routing over TCP) please speak up?
