Derya,

No answers, but I'll add another consideration to your list:

>>One of the considerations in using NHRP is to be selective in establishing

>>establish.

Thirdly, the cost of the new VC wrt the original one that the client
presumably had open to their default router. Customers need to
be able to characterize the total benefit to themselves before
they'll be happy having NHRP tell them to place a long-distance
ATM call instead of a local call. 

cheers,
