many thanks.

I confess I have not yet gotten  around to figuring out what it means for a
node to be "routable".  could you say a few words on that or point me to
some docs?  and as long as I have your attention: what the relation between
client/server on the one hand, and EP/GW on the other?  e.g. is a server
that is not also a client always an EP?

thanks,
