route_data Struct Reference

---

Detailed Description

We don't store a list of nodes in the message structure, but a list of route_data: the reason is that nodes can go away, but we don't want to traverse the whole routing table to reclaim all the places where they were referenced.

The route_data structure points to a node and keeps track of the amount of messages that it is used to track. When a node disappears, the `node' field in the associated route_data structure is set to NULL. Dangling references are removed only when needed.
