the story is a bit longer - Andre drafted the initial design,
which i subsequently took over and with a student, Alessandro Cerri,
(I am Cc-ing him) did a first implementation. This was probably
around 2003.

Then Qing-li (Sp?) took over development of that code - last i heard
of the code was around last summer.

I think our code at least was based on 4.x so it probably did not
address locking very much (not sure how the routing code is locked
these days, anyways).

Alessandro is actually around again playing with FreeBSD so he may
remember more details (it was his thesis, after all!)
