[Csci551-talk] LandMark Hierarchy Example

[Yuan Li]

In the example(Fig 4), d.i.g's routing table does not have an entry for
level 1 router n, so it needs to forward the packet to Level 2 router d
instead.  And in its routing table, f(not k) is the next hop to reach d.

2.2.5 could help you to better understand routing in Landmark Hierarchy.

Thanks

Yuan
