The nimrod routing protocol project is being lead by Neal Chiappa of MIT. A
BBN person (forget the name) is the other half of the team. They have an
NSF grant to help fund the development. There has been a lot of theory talk
by a number of participants. Hope they come to a resolution soon.
There is an old draft of the nimrod concepts on internet-drafts (search for
the nimrod key word).
BTW, there are a number of IETFers that take Chiappa's action in creating
the Nimrod routing as a valid effort to make IPv4 last a REAL long time...
