On the other hand, we are working under the implicit assumption that having standards can be useful. We can go beyond saying that the requirements are "different" and observe that some use cases are particular cases of more general use cases. Identifying one generic solution that would be able to also address the subset use caess can be beneficial to everybody. -Thomas >> There are clear data center architectures, and data center deployments, >> where optimal inter-subnet routing is important.
