Abstract
Systems and methods are described which provide enhanced stability, increased predictability, reduced transmission costs, and which conserve bandwidth in routing messages over computer networks. The systems and methods further include providing improved transmission of messages wherein the messages are transmitted to nodes closest to a target delivery node. If delivery is possible to a target node, the message transmission stops at the point of failure in the network, wherein delivery to the target node is accomplished at a later time or the message is returned to the sender.
