[JDEV] Routes, etc..

[Waleed Abdulla]

In fact I think things are getting out of hand. Maybe I'm missing something
here!! Hope, someone can clarify it to me.    DO WE REALLY NEED THE ROUTE?

     I mean, all these tags and attributes added with each message will only
make things complex for the servers. I know route info is useful in many
cases, but it shouldn't be sent with each message. It should only be sent in
a special type of message used to analyze the route (this is how it's done
in IP).

     Also, I don't see how the route info can prevent spam. You can't filter
all messages coming through route X just because someone using that route is
sending spam.

    I vote for simplicity: The sender's client stamps the message and that's
it.

    Did I say something wrong? :)
