>So, before you/we go off an' invent another protocol which any number of >universities will jump on as a weekend project ... No, I was not suggesting that we invent a new protocol. I believe in the KISS principle that espouses simplicity over complexity. If it can be done with IP and ICMP (I don't really see how since IP and ICMP were written to be totally independent of the underlying subnet) sobeit. Next choice would be to use something that exists. Better to fight the enemy you know than the enemy you don't. Last on the list would be to roll a new protocol.
