Noel, I'm not comfortable with quite that broad a statement. Consider the following scenario: You create a map-encap system. There are some host software upgrades that make everything work great. Non-upgraded hosts still work, but they suffer a 10% performance penalty and certain diagnostic tools (like traceroute) malfunction. Do we want to eliminate this scenario from consideration before we've seen what capabilities and efficiencies it enables? I'd go for a slightly more moderate statement: A solution is infeasible if host changes are a -prerequisite-. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
