With or without aggregation?

With aggregation, there should be no problem scaling to 500 subnets of
2000 nodes each.

We are working on that.  The smoothed metrics work is a necessary
prerequisite for interesting metrics (which will be intrinsically
unstable), and Matthieu and I have just finished the details of the
delay-based routing.  Unfortunately, we're being delayed by the fact
that our test network is broken right now (our old server has been
decomissioned, and nobody has had time to set up the new one until
last week).

Yeah, I certainly need to look at that at some point.
