I've had it do the job it's supposed to more often than not...some just down during a drive crash or an OS switchover. A few have moved or become regional independents, etc. But enough years passed, that I got around to reassigning an old unused number to a new node and SEAL had a couple of hundred echoes it wanted to reactivate and start forwarding that direction again.

My uplink is KK> feeding me areas /not/ listed on the latest backbone.na Seems like it went for a few years without being regularly hatched, so most folks just started keeping private versions based on whatever was really happening with traffic on their systems (or not).
