As a side-note; Peter Tattam's proposal has been implemented by one of
our students in 1999 for the Kame stack on *BSD. If there's an
interest in the code (and maybe  thesis too)  to look at or maybe to
revive (on a more -current Kame stack) for actual experimentation, I
can put it online (and maybe revive it myself) once I'm back from a
(well-deserved! ;) vacation, i.e. in one or two weeks from now. Just
leave me a note, if you're interested...
