Hi Scott, Anyone who has bridged an ethernet via a TCP based IPSec tunnel understands that layers are recursive. > http://www.ionary.com/PSOC-MovingBeyondTCP.pdf John Day has been chasing this notion long enough to write three network stacks. If it works and isn't obviously inferior in its operational resource consumption, where's the proof-of-concept code? The last time this was discussed in the Routing Research Group, none of the proponents were able to adequately describe how to build a translation/forwarding table in the routers or whatever passes for routers in this design.
