Randy,

 To be fair Russ was only asking for a sanity check from those who should
know the architecture. If his audience for the diagram were intended to be
Nanog, you would have a point, but it is clearly intended to impart the
smallest amount of clue to those with none. In that sense he has done well,
but he lost the architecture perspective at the end points.

		No.  You are not looking at the DIAGRAM.

		When the 90/10 rule leaves routers out of internet
architecture, the posting
		does not belong on nanog.  I leave it to others to judge
where it might
