I  don't really  want  to  keep it  up  either, but  as  long as  misleading
statements are being made I feel I have to reply. 

Paul> BGP ...   distributes reachability information  in the IDR  system. We

Paul> has little bearing on whether  that property applies in this different
Paul> application.

Whether  something  scales in  an  extremely  large  environment has  little
bearing on whether it scales in  a smaller environment?  I can't imagine why
anyone would make such a claim. 

Paul> The scalability  of BGP is  only one of  the issues with  the protocol
Paul> which call its use in this application into question. 

Now that's an example of FUD!!
