Hi Jacob,

A does not connect to C. In the given example, the desired result is
that traffic does not flow from C to A *at all*. The permissible
traffic flows are:

WA
WB
WBC
AB
CB

These traffic flows do not occur:

ABC (A lacks a route for C)
W->A->B->C (A lacks a route for C)

This traffic flow is intended to fail but doesn't because of W's more-specifics:

C->B->A->W

Regards,
Bill Herrin
