|To fix the 'contain updates to a limited part of the network' issue, an
|topologically organized allocation of 'routing-names' (either 
|hierarchical, or
|landmark routing, or _something_ like that, which allows 
|limiting the scope of
|information about a given destination). Yes, it's true that 
|the routing system
|_at the moment_ is incapable of using any such well-organized 
|routing-names -
|but that doesn't obviate the *requirement* for them, if one 
|_does_ want to
|limit the scope of updates.


While we're here, the lack of a global addressing scheme that would generate
abstractions of routing names is a topic that is very much on-topic for us.
That falls under the portion of the charter on 'addressing architectures'.
