Exactly why words like "type", "category", "sort", "kind", "class" etc. should be weapons of last resort. Most things can be categorized along multiple dimensions: a multicast route is a type of route, a direct route is a type of route. So I prefer path, direction, treatment, distribution etc. that hint at what type of type you are specifying. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
