I suggest merging the article Hot-potato routing to this article since they seem to deal with the same thing. --Bensin 21:40, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

why does cold potato routing as well as hot potato routing redirect to this same place?

origin of the term

I had never headr the term "deflection routing" until I came across this page on wikipedia; I've always heard it described as hot potato routing. Is there some source that can be cited that demostrates that "deflection routing" is the more common term for it? JNW2 01:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
