I do not understand what these 2 sentences mean. And just to be clear, BGP4 routing is not highly meshed. I happened to look at the potaroo.net data yesterday. 86.3% of active autonomous systems are purely originators of routes (stubs), 13.4% also provide transit, and 0.3% are pure transit systems. 42% of autonomous systems originate only one prefix. Brian Also, the internet is a very very small network compared with the network of the roads and streets. But, see above, I do not understand. For an algorithm I doesn't matter whether the network is tightly meshed or lesser meshed.It would only matter, if there were no single mesh at all. Heiner
