Uh, yes the idea is that NGR does work, but not while the network is overloaded. To reduce load, your options are limited to: adding more resources, improving routing and reducing queries. My proposal addresses reducing queries; which is what exponential backing off is supposed to do but does not

I propose the following method for reducing load on the network which, hopefully, would giving NGR a chance to optimize routing and so further reduce network load. My suggestion is to have a MinHTL paramater. As the node becomes overloaded, the node will increase it's MinHTL toward MaxHTL. Now,
