In your previous mail you wrote:
let me try a non-technical response to define the complexity.
=> I agree and if you have seen by last mail you can find in it
two ideas which address this concern.
the basic API was written for the "applications programmers". tim's
comment on select() I agree with. the select() or poll() sys call is
not intuitive to an application programmer that now has to re-write
their application server for 10,000+ connections because of the Internet
explosion when they wrote it for about 100 connections and might have
not even used select or poll.
=> unfortunately you can't give the programming of an application
which have to support 10,000+ connections to Joe Average, and
I am afraid that this applies to multicast applications too.

PS: a part of my concern about the routing table is this cannot easily
hiden to the administrator and unfortunately Joe Average as an administrator
has a very low skill.
