So I'll concede a little here. "B" wont let you find "C" unless you've been authorised (if it is setup that way), and "C" knows you've been authorised, because you have a token that is signed by "B", that "C" can verify with "B"'s public cert.

So from that point of view "B" is a requirement to instigate a conversation, but not to maintain it. As an example, I have a zerotier controller that serves a network for another FTN. Over the last 6 months, that controller has been down more times than its been up (because I forget to start it), but that two systems that exchange mail over that network havent missed a beat.

(Which reminds me, I need to check its running since I've moved stuff around...)
