...which comment thoroughly confirms Jon's point, since the Zebra
code clearly is not ready (today) for large-scale production networks.
It might be ready for such in some future world, but it clearly isn't

        It *would* be good if some/all of the implementation optimisations
to build truly scalable IP routing protocols were documented.  However,
most aren't documented, which provides job security for those in the know.
