The whole point of this relay mechanism, as I understand it, is to cope with the case when the responder X can not actually reach the source A. Now suppose that the packet arrives at X with the Address stack A, B, ... X examines the stack. The domain of A was numbered using net 10. The domain of X is numbered using net 10. A's address is probably routable in X's routing table. The problem is, that routing will not get to A. X examines the stack, determines that A is "routable", and sends the packet. This fails to meet the goal. Yours, Joel
