I think that, 12 years ago, you had the best mouse trap.

Map-encap, where you select a decapsulator (consult the map) and then send a tunneled packet (encapsulated) does
some cool stuff, but it's a pretty significant change to the network architecture. Definitely not configuration-free.

I am so painfully aware of this.
