@ -167,4 +167,9 @@ router in transport domain B must have pushed its descriptor to a directory
server in transport domain A, so that the directory server in transport domain
A can use that router to reach the directory server in transport domain B.
When confronted with the choice of multiple different paths to reach the same
router, the Blossom nodes may use a route selection protocol similar in design
to that used by BGP (may be a simple distance-vector route selection procedure
that only takes into account path length, or may be more complex to avoid
loops, cache results, etc.) in order to choose the best one.
