Sure . . .  This whole discussion is about end-users who want or
need multihoming, traffic engineering and portability.  Rather than
writing:

  "end-users who want or need multihoming, traffic engineering
   and portability"

all through my messages I try to keep them a little shorter by
sometimes writing:

  "end-users"

and then there are two messages to the list about me not being
specific enough, plus my two replies.

There are many more important things I have put on this list and the
RRG list in recent weeks which I would really appreciate more
attention being given to:

ITR complexity & security (ICMP) in LISP-NERD/CONS & eFIT-APT
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ram/current/msg01766.html

Constructive critique and suggestions for RADIR Problem Statement
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ram/current/msg01773.html

Likewise for the RRG Design Goals
http://psg.com/lists/rrg/2007/msg00199.html

Also, if someone would write a critique of the Ivip I-D, that would
be great.  It has been available for 3 weeks:

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-whittle-ivip-arch-00
  http://www.firstpr.com.au/ip/ivip/draft-whittle-ivip-arch-00.html

It is long, but not as long as keeping up with these lists - and it
is hopefully easier to understand!
