According to the end to end argument, the only possible solution to the problem, with no complete or correct alternatives, is to let hosts directly participate in IGP activities.
See the paper by Saltzer et. al.
So your entire argument is based on an academic paper from 1981 and that host systems should participate in IGP. We tried that. It didn't scale well. The Internet today is very different than the Internet in 1981. -- Ray Soucy Epic Communications Specialist Phone: +1 (207) 561-3526 Networkmaine, a Unit of the University of Maine System http://www.networkmaine.net/
