I didn't say it was. I was merely providing it as a concrete *example* of an
architectural approach to packet forwarding which can support a number of

And you never answered my question about whether in speaking of "'routing' layers"
you meant "'forwarding of user traffic', or 'selection of paths'" - or both.
