I haven't had a chance to return to this since the past weekend, but I 
plan to do so tomorrow.  Here is a current status:

- Mathieu made a few comments regarding removal of the legacy 
Ipv4::GetAddress() and related methods.  After reviewing some of the 
uses of these methods, I concluded that it will probably be best to 
audit the usage of these methods within the stack and replace them with 
the new methods.  I may or may not keep some GetAddress() method around 
after doing this, but if so, keeping these convenience methods in a 
separate namespace seems like a good idea

- Mathieu also suggested to delegate the details of routing protocol 
insertion to helper classes.  After looking at this, it seems like a 
good idea, so I will try to make that change tomorrow also.

- multicast routing support needs to be plumbed in yet

I'll post back to the list when the above open items are closed.
