I need a word to use to describe the network view one is currently on..

I would really really like it if we could stop using the term "routing"
here.
The kernel forwards, it does not route -- routing protocols route.
I know that when BSD started out the distinction was not so clear, but
it is in most modern implementations, Windows, IOS etc all draw a
distinction between the currently winning routes used for forwarding,
and the routes which are actually exchanged or learnt.
So my vote is for "forwarding domain".
I understand that this feature is something which swaps in a different
forwarding table for the application one is currently running?
And that it works in a manner similar to chroot() ? Is this different or
the same as the pf/ipf/ipfw tag you mention?
Also, can we retain compatibility with OpenBSD for now, for any
equal-cost path stuff we do?
Cheers...
