Hello Carl, 

Interesting comment. 

Would you agree with me that in principle a topology is a topology is a 
topology and, therefore,  that we should strive for a model that can be 
employed recursively at any level in such a (implied) hierarchy ?

When I  look at topology, i.e fundamentally at a graph, I wish to manipulate or 
exploit aspects of the properties represented by it. In principle it doesn't 
matter to me what it represents. I have the same primitives at my disposal to 
manipulate it regardless of what it represents . Obviously in practice I might 
want to check some identifier in/of the topology to ensure that it's not a 
national backbone I'm messing with when I intended to change an access link in 
my metro ;-)

Do you think that's a reasonable perspective from which to continue this 
discussion ?
