Well, one of the things I'm working with is Virtual Routers.  In this sort of
system you have several routers, running in parallel, with possibly overlapping
IP address spaces all in one box.  I can't give you a customer list of course
because it's all under NDA, but this is a fairly important upcoming
feature in routers.

Could you send along a quick bullet list of the changes that you think would
need to be made?  Certainly if we chose Click for our framework I'll be
making these changes and feeding them back if you agree to them.

Later,
George
