Hi, Pekka,
I wanted to thank you for this explanation. It's helpful in understanding
what other people mean by what they're saying.

Spencer and Tom,
I'm not sure I'm entirely in sync with the conversation, but when I was
speed-reading HIP BONE over the Christmas break, I saw the following
text, which seems to say that P2P comes first, because the overlay is
used to route I1 packets. ("HIP over P2P")
I think your confusion here is mixing the "overlay" and the "peer
protocol". In HIP BONE case the overlay is formed by combining HIP and
the peer protocol. Hence, while HIP packets can be routed over the
overlay, that does not mean that they are routed over the peer protocol.
My understanding of HIPHOP was that HIP came first, because it was used
to forward P2P packets without "popping up" to a P2P protocol engine at
every hop. ("P2P over HIP")
Perhaps a key issue in understanding this is the separation of the
routing table and the forwarding table; see my previous message earlier
today.
