This is a valid point, but it's also rather rare that one wants to send large amounts of data directly to a friend in a neighboring flat but one has not manually adjusting the local routing to take that into account. > If each home or mobile device was essentially [its] own autonomous > system, what would this do to routing table size?

So we can estimate that a large fraction of a billion entries would be added to the routing tables. How would that work?
