[WEG] Yes and no. While confeds are sometimes used for scale, they aren't *exclusively* used for scale, and therefore your two statements are in conflict with one another. In some cases Confeds have nothing to do with scale and everything to do with boundaries of trust for those of us with different internal and autonomous organizations responsible for managing different parts of our network. A confed requires some manner of coordination between the members of the confed, but it in no way implies that all of the members of the confed are centrally managed, nor should it.
