Since this thing does more than shape traffic I'll offer the old Calvin
and Hobbes name, "The Transmogrifier". If you wanted to stay in the
"detour" space, "traffic cop" or some such comes to mind.... maybe "chop
shop" ;-)
Sculpture
Hourglass (incorporates both time and shape in the name,
although our department may be too PC for this)
Wrt the million-node march... I'll point out that Sieg couldn't
physically accommodate the electrical and cooling required to run a
million PC's ;-) Also, we might... uh... calibrate our numbers before
we advertise... its not clear its even vaguely reasonable to simulate a
million nodes... nor is it clear that that's an important goal. Maybe
"Towards Simulation of realistic Internetworks" might give us a bit more
leeway there.
