Yeah, I think what I was describing was more or less what they call a hypercube, or maybe just a cube. I'm not one of those people that can actually envision multidimensional structures, so I only know "this is a 4-cube" if I see the coordinates. I got the impression (maybe wrong) that guntella as it exists is something much worse than a tree, that connections are pretty much haphazard and when you send out a query it reaches the same node by multiple paths, and that you really need the query ID to keep from forwarding massive duplicates.
