Note my quotes around the word routing. The only protocol that people
route is IP. Therefore, if you "route" all of the other protocols you
mentioned, you must inherently route all protocols L4 on up that run on
IP. Routing is done at L3. Therefore, if you want to talk about things
running L4 and up, the question should be about filtering and not
routing.

That's my point...that if we're talking about which protocols are being
routed, it's either "IP and IPv6" or "everything from L4 up that runs on
IP", depending on how you take the question.

Now that you've cleared that up, can someone enlighten me as to what this 
has to do with "slamming ICANN?" I'm still not seeing the connection.
