This is a much simplified problem-scope as compared to your earlier
proposals.  Are the earlier proposals no longer under consideration? If
so, an explanation would be helpful.


Also I did not see any discussion of how loop free cut-through paths are
guaranteed. I think that also would be helpful to the group.
