Your algorithm failed to pick the permitted paths when we computed the example over the weekend. Would you like to change something in the computation so that your algorithm picks permitted paths for both H to A and D to E? Remember: permission is described by the green arrows in the diagram. A packet is permitted to transit a node IF AND ONLY IF there is a trail of green arrows to that node from either the packet's source node or the packet's destination node. Your error may be that you don't comprehend Internet routing's permission model. It's not a BGP thing, it's an economic thing. Quite simply, each green arrow indicates the payment of money or some other consideration in exchange for "Internet service." The arrow starts with the node making payment and points to the node which is paid. Until you understand the economic model you must engineer for, you will continue to fail.
