[NDProxy#18] Dynamic removal of proxy

2005-02-15 Thread Dave Thaler
Summary: Requirements section says removal of a proxy should not adversely disrupt the network. However, removing a proxy can break connectivity that previously went through the proxy. Hence the document is not self-consistent. Discussion so far: http://www.icir.org/dthaler/NDProxyIssues.htm#Is
