[rrg] Critique of Compact Routing

[HeinerHummel at aol.com]

Even worse:
In § 4.4 of this document the authors postolate that there is a   ~15 times 
path lengths increase due to hierarchical routing (obviously I mixed  up this 
number with (only!) stretch-3 mentioned at some other lines).
Either the research work is not trust-worthy or the authors had a very very  
bad hierarchical routing model in mind. 
Again: the conclusion that  any hierarchical routing model has such a  bad 
stretch behavior - note:
fifteen times the shortest path length !  - tells me that the authors  have 
never heard of Kurt Mehlhorn's algorithm, published in 1988,  including his  
proof that the distilled hierarchical mesh contains all  shortest path trees 
that interconnect the hierarchical nodes.
