Thanks for pointing this out. However, I still think it is confusing given that 
it is not used in the base IGP documents. I still think that once you accept 
the term "pruner" for flooding algorithm, CPS (Connected Pruner Set) is much 
more intuitive.

The concept of connected IGP routers running the same flooding algorithm is 
actually very simple and one shouldn't need a PhD to understand it.  

Thanks,
Acee
