plemented, while the data storage resources are merged. That would stimulate the nodes in the network to pick the best nodes for routing to/through. This would in effect, make the a good testing tool for finding what routing algorithm yields the best performance in terms of data retrievability and speed. The chances are that the dominant implementation of routing among the nodes in the routing table(s), relative to the proportion of deployment of each implementation, would be very indicative of what the best routing implementation is.
