That kind of closed environment does seem like a very good idea for growing the routing/navigation/searching algorythms that we're using. I'm willing to donate a 1.8gHz computer and a VMWare license. It seems to me that we can put 1000 clients on one machine, and have them simulate their own network. Each one of the virtual computers would be incredibly slow, but that seems acceptable for running predefined tests.
The 3000+ node network would be a "production" network. I'd certianly be willing to use it to test out promising algorythms and/or provide test data though.
