| routes and garbage-collects entries for sources with no live route. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Garbage-collecting a source's feasibility entry merely because it has no live route can reintroduce routing loops. After B withdraws its final route through a source, a delayed advertisement for the same sequence number can return from C; if B has forgotten its prior feasible distance, it accepts the worse route while C may still route through B, and adjacent-only exclusion does not break that existing B-C loop. The source state needs a protocol-safe retention period long enough for stale advertisements to expire, rather than collection based solely on the absence of a live route.

Agreed. Fixed in 88f3a47: feasibility entries now expire on a retention timer (RFC 8966 section 3.7.3), never when the last route goes. The delayed same-seqno ring is now a required scenario in the new routing simulator quest, which gates the wire work.

When internal.listen uses the documented private-overlay configuration instead of loopback, remote processes can reach this unauthenticated endpoint, contrary to the stated assumption that only local processes reach it. The existing trusted-plane endpoints expose operational data, but the proposed MoQ session grants access to locally ingested customer media, so it must either be restricted to loopback/Unix sockets or enforce authentication and consumption grants on non-loopback listeners.

The claimed Spread prerequisite does not exist: a repo-wide search for Spread quest and [Spread] finds only this reference, while the Wildcard questline lists only Resolve and Demand. Current subscribers use the first hop to distinguish a reroute from a takeover, so completing the listed Wildcard children will not provide the reply identity Babel needs before deleting hop chains.

The Babel line's first deliverable is now a deterministic simulator that compares today's path vector, Babel, and a topology split under the same workloads, and checks the actual subscribe/fetch forwarding decisions for loops. The wire quests require it. Also from review: feasibility state expires on a retention timer instead of with the last route, withdrawn prefixes are held unreachable, the mixed-mesh bridge becomes an all-at-once cluster switch with legacy sessions at the edge, and the local origin is served only on a loopback or Unix-socket internal listener.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
After hop chains are removed, a relay cannot tell whether every neighbor has stopped forwarding through it: adjacent exclusion suppresses the neighbor's reflected advertisement, and ANNOUNCE_END has no application-level acknowledgement or next-hop signal. In the broader-prefix scenario this makes the stated hold condition unimplementable, forcing the Rust implementation either to release early and permit the loop or retain the unreachable state indefinitely.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a relay with a stable cluster.id restarts, its per-link sequence counter will normally restart from zero while other relays retain larger values. If receivers reject lower values, recovered links remain stale or absent; if they accept them, delayed pre-restart messages can overwrite current liveness. Either outcome can leave relays with divergent topologies and cause the shortest-path forwarding below to drop or misroute subscriptions. Scope an incarnation identifier or persistent monotonic sequence space, expiration behavior, and a relay-restart simulator case.

Agreed. Fixed in 363ea97: each relay's per-link seqno is scoped to its incarnation, so a restarted relay's links supersede its stale ones. moq.pro's simulator quest already covers relay loss and restart.

The plan allows multiple registries per region but does not define whether flooding is direct or aggregated. Under direct full-mesh flooding, an event can cross the regional boundary once for each destination registry. That conflicts with “once per region” if the statement describes physical traffic. Define whether “once” means logical delivery or physical forwarding. If it means physical forwarding, specify a regional gateway or aggregation rule and include a multi-registry topology in the simulator report.

Even once Path patterns lands, Announcing::announce in rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs can only attach the receiving cluster session's scope, not the original publisher's pattern, so the next relay cannot know that **/transcode.pro should shadow ** and may route the request to the archive instead.

On legacy Lite versions, storing the full (hops, cost) still sends updates whose decoded route is unchanged: Lite01/02 encode no hops, while Lite03 encodes only the hop count, so changing hop identities with the same length compares unequal locally but produces identical wire data. Since this quest explicitly covers every version, cache and compare the version-projected representation, with regression cases for these legacy encodings. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Problem
Cluster announcements are a fan-out problem. On moq.pro's live fleet, 93% of relay egress (about 15 MB/s) is not media, and it tracks mesh degree rather than customer load. Today every relay advertises its best route to every peer not in the hop chain:
.statsand.internalincluded.Babel, which the first revision of this PR planned, shrinks messages and skips equal-cost reroutes, but it is still distance vector: the same fan-out, the same global knowledge, and no loop freedom with several sources per prefix (RFC 8966 section 2.7), MoQ's common case.
Approach
Quest docs only:
?cost=0links when relays agree on the topology.Removed: the Babel line, the announce counters quest (the simulator replaces measurement), and
quest/m2/plan-routing-origin.md(#4158), which Cluster routing supersedes.Impact
