+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?
