Note that NSI is deploying a testbed, not a optimal solution. In fact,
they acknowledge quite clearly that it will be a moving target as
according to IETF standardisation process.

No, I don't work for NSI Registry. But due to my work as CTO of
i-DNS.net, I do work with NSI Registry on some aspect of their effort
and much of that is covered by NDA.

I will do my best to clarify common misunderstand of NSI testbed but any
detail questions on what NSI intents or will be doing will be best
answered by NSI staff.
