	Agreed.

	Remember that for many deployments, the entire system will be a single "zone", so whatever term is used should make sense in a singular sense. That rules out names such as 'slice' or 'fragment'.

	'Knot'? In what sense can 'knot' be used?

	I still prefer 'cell'. The parallel to single celled / multi-cellular life forms makes sense, and there is really no overloading of the word in the world of computers.
