Re: a radical proposal (Re: protocols that don't meet the need...)

Since meeting Yakov years ago, I have always tried to teach network
designers to consider addressing and topology together. 

It hasn't always worked.  Many don't care about network population
estimates and demographics, some don't recognize those terms, and, a few
just want enough Class C networks to get their job done for the
day.

"Addressing can follow topology or topology can follow

He has

true when
considering VPN technologies.
