Gordon ---- I think that you have captured quite eloquently in your
questions the brokenness of the combit model and the ANS
implementation of commercial and R&E traffic on the backbone. I learned long
ago that you cannot build a strong, lasting structure on a broken foundation.
Yet that is what is being attempted.
Many of us who have responsibilities for the mid-levels are sitting on the
side lines in these discussions because we understand that the present
situation is broken. We see little opportunity to change this situation for
the better given the proclivity of the various individuals speaking now for
rhetoric and their inability to listen. However, we continue to look for new
solutions and I am sure that one that is "out of the box" will ultimately be
found.
