| n | Many
protocols perform (potentially limited) flooding of |

| control packets, instead of data packets |

| n | The
control packets are used to discover routes |

| n | Discovered
routes are subsequently used to send data |
||||||||
| packet(s) |
|||||||||
| n | Overhead
of control packet flooding is amortized over data |
