Well, yeah.  If you could solve it, the solution would be applicable to 
all networks, and would substantially improve the stability of the 
Internet.  So obviously lots of people (not me; I'm not a routing 
expert) have thought about it; the fact that it hasn't been solved yet 
should discourage you from making plans that assume it will be solved.
