So you are saying that the existing email exchange network
is not scalable because it is non-hierarchical?

It looks like its scaled pretty well so far. Maybe I'm 
not understanding something.

The entire paragraph quoted appears to be entirely content
free except for some various assertions. Could you elaborate
further on

1) how the existing non-hierarchical email exchange network is
not scalable. What are your definitions of "scale" and what
are the current choking points that you see?

2) the email exchange overlay network and the similarities
to the underlying ip network with elaborations on how the
hierarchy of IP maps to the hierarchy in email overlays.

thanks
