   There is a $0.02 fix for the "routing security" problem --
   use a logically separate network for exchanging routing and
   network monitoring information.  That solution will be
   100 years old next afternoon.

   Routing updates must _not_ be encapsulated in routable datagrams.
   That much, people who did GGP got right.

So what's the $0.02 fix for eliminating the fate-sharing between routing
and payload that GGP got wrong?
