let's first agree on some goals
o really big address space, not the v6 fixed 32 bit
limited game. (old dogs will now bay for variable
length, aroooooo!)
o a routing system which has the ability to scale really
well in the presence of fewer and fewer nodes (think
sites) where out-degree == 1
o mobility
o really scalable v4 backward compatibility so that we
don't have the end-user-affecting mess which looms in a
few years
anything else?
