====== FAQ ======

===== Why are there more active routes than neighbors? =====

Because the forwarding table stores route candidates, not just one best route per destination.

A single destination may appear multiple times with different next hops.

===== Why is the preferred route table empty? =====

Preferred routes are created when MTRP actually selects a forwarded path during send-time resolution.

If all current traffic uses direct neighbors, the preferred route table may remain empty.

===== Why do I see metric 30 routes when direct routes are metric 15? =====

A metric of 30 usually means the route was learned one hop away through another node.

This is expected behavior when neighbors re-advertise learned routes.

===== Is that a problem if direct route 15 also exists? =====

No. The indirect route is a valid candidate, but policy should normally choose the direct route because it has the lower metric.

===== What does MOST_RELIABLE mean right now? =====

It means the best local send-success history toward a direct neighbor.

It does not yet mean full end-to-end delivery confidence.

===== Does MTRP currently provide reliable delivery? =====

Not fully.

Current reliability scoring is local and observational. Protocol-level ACK behavior is a candidate future feature.
