Pascal, thanks - the only obvious hiccup is that I failed to specify that the OMNI overlay RS/RA messaging is unicast-only (or anycast) and never broadcast/multicast. So, it is efficient and only between a vehicle and its nearest IP-RSU without disturbing any other vehicles or IP-RSUs. I am willing to let the dust settle on this for now and see what edits Paul can come up with.
