[net2-wg] Collection TEP draft

[Omprakash Gnawali]

One other question that I forgot to ask is if we should have global
allocation of AM id's or if there is a way to expose the id's that are
already being used by a component. For example, the collection uses a
few AM id's for its own use. How is a user supposed to know that those
id's are already used up ? already used by routing components ?
