Can't honetly say it won't work, just that RIP may be fragile for such a
complex topology with some less than reliable sets of links.  We will sure
learn a lot.

However, my real point was to note that some planning may be in order to
create a more sensible backbone for the 6bone when we get to the RIP stage.

As an aside, what are the other routing protocols we are likely to see over
the next year or so.

Thanks,

Bob
