[Dxspider-support] Bad IP

[Rene Olsen]

Hi Gregor.

If all 400 nodes peered with eachother, everything would probably stop working.

Everytime a DX spots is recived from some link partner, it would be passed on to 399 other 
nodes, while we would probably get the same spot from I don't know how many other link 
partners. In my opinion it would be total caos. But maybe I misunderstand something.

It woul create a LOT of totally unneeded trafic.

It has never been the intention, that everyone should peer with everyone. thats why you will 
probably see, that most nodes have in the range from 3-20 link partners.

Myself have been doing finr with three for many years, but have 5 links now. and if I miss a 
single dx spot for whatever reason, it will not kill me.

Maybe Dirk can chip in, and give us some idea what would happen if all nodes peered with all 
nodes :-)
