Hi Lorenzo,

I don't understand what your patch will do because, as I understand the 
word, "routing" means forwarding a packet one hop closer to the 
destination, so I expect you must reach the destination before you could 
know the UID.  I'm probably missing something quite obvious. Could you 
illustrate a use-case?

Thanks,

David
