+1 for stuff that works in the real world. "Running code" isn't running
code if it doesn't, well, run. :-)

Mark, Jari, is it possible to revive the autoconfig/source-routing demo
that we had in Atlanta? Even if it's only for a limited time, I think it's
important to show that (or "whether", depending on your point of view) this
stuff can work in the real world.

John: assuming it's possible to revive the demo, then I think it would be
enough to have two cable modems connected to a live network that hands out
"something larger than /64" by default. If we don't have PD or if we don't
have greater than /64 then there's not much point in attempting routing. :-)

Does that sound possible?
