Jerry: The reason you are seeing so much pathalias and GENROUTS traffic is because it is an issue that HAS to be resolved at least partially before we can move ahead on the Princeton proposal. If we were to plunge ahead without being sure that we can generate proper routing tables, large number of both users and systems administrators would be ready to lynch us...
