Bill, Your comments regarding the hierarchical routing may be valid, I believe, -- especially taking into consideration that the whole subject of this thread is just one of the drivers inevitably flattening the Internet topology :) But look what's going on in MANET, for example (LANMAR being particularly amazing). This at least suggests that some scenarios may exist where you have neither strictly hierarchical routing nor '2-32nd entries in the "DFZ"'. -- dima. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 6:22 PM > To: David R.
