Actually, several folks talked at lunch, and defining the data model first 
might be precisely the wrong thing to do... Let me just throw it out for 
discussion--

Is it better to define the information needed to forward a packet as a data 
model, so we simply leave the problem of defining a "rib," etc., as something 
we can ignore? In other words, if we start from the packet end, do we simplify 
our problem in a major way?
