I know, I know. Moreover, SAP cannot work for SSM-only networks.
The reason why I said SAP here is unfortunately *sufficient/efficient*
session/channel announcement protocol/system has not deployed yet at
this moment.
Studying about it is one of my current work. While I sent a mail to
mboned wg ml on 04/07, it also helps several SSM's problems.

Anyway, thanks for the attention, and I hope we'll get interesting
thoughts later.
