SO... let's say I want to send something to LD from my nonexistant plot. To make it simple, I'll say that LD is a straight line to the west of me. I'll say the hub under me is hub 0, the one to my north is hub 1, the one to my west is hub 2. Okay, in order to get from me to LD, let's say it has to go through a minimum of 5 hubs. How does hub 0 know that the next hub it needs to get to is hub 2? Does it have a large table saying which of the other 62 connections are on which of the 4 output ports it has? If hub 2 is busy, and my hub decides to reroute through the north hub (hub 1), how does it know that by sending hub 1 my data, it will end up at LD's plot. When the data gets to hub 1, if hub 1 says that the best way to get to LD's plot is through hub 0, what prevents it from being routed back to hub 0?
