You mean that routing protocols need to take account of policies? ;-)

Or do you mean that BGP isn't good enough?

Yes... (silly :)
Yes... (serious)

BGP has a number of serious flaws.  The more complex the routing mesh, the
more they will become visable.  And if what I see is correct, IDRP, the 
BGP heir, has the same sets of problems.


Another suggestion? Lacking one, one might suggest that the complexity
of the 'mesh' needs to be simplified.
