David,

this implies a role like x.75, rather than end-to-end.  it also would make the 
need for tcp questionable.

i wasn't tracking the work very closely, at the time it was being done, by my 
understanding was that it was always envisioned as an end-to-end overlay, 
rather than merely between gateways.
