Seriously, some of the elements in our current routing system e.g. the HTL / 
lack of backoff haven't really been tested properly or even simulated 
properly; they're based on a series of assumptions. Hopefully we can rectify 
that, but an easy option at this point is to just try out a different 
algorithm and see what effect it has on probe requests. Once we have update 
over mandatory it should be relatively easy to do such things.
