also interesting would be experimentation in determining what level of
route oscillation breaks this axiom. is the stability of macroscopic
flows retained for all but macroscopic route oscillation? does it remain
even for macroscopic route oscillation?

thinking further...is it reasonable to believe  that macroscopically
internet routing is static?
