Abraham Lincoln once asked a fellow, "If you call a horse's tail a leg, how many legs does a horse have?" And the fellow answered "ummm...five." Lincoln shook his head. "No. Calling a tail a leg does not make it one." Just looking at the URL above, it's pointing to the introduction to internetworking, which is rarely updated and is not infrequently misleading or wrong. I suggest you look at current Cisco white papers on routing protocols, Garcia-Luna-Alceves' academic paper, any number of Networkers presentations, routing discussions in the IETF, etc. No one seriously uses the term hybrid, and there never was a technical definition of it. As opposed to Camelot being "one shining moment," the use of "hybrid protocol" originated from a bubbling cauldron of spin doctoring from marketing, parroting by training, and perhaps a dark blessing by Sir Mordred. -- "What Problem are you trying to solve?" ***send Cisco questions to the list, so all can benefit -- not directly to me*** ******************************************************************************** Howard C.
