+Routers form a ring in the SILC network. However, routers may have other
+direct connections to other routers in the network too. This can cause
+interesting routing problems in the network. Since the network is ring,
+the packets usually should be routed into counter clock-wise direction,
+or if it cannot be used then always clock-wise (primary route) direction.
+Problems may arise when a faster direct route exists and router is routing
+a channel messages. Currently channel messages must be routed either
+in upstream or downstream, they cannot be routed to other direct routes.
+The SILC protocol should have a shortest path discovery protocol, and some
+existing routing protocol, that can handle a ring network with other direct
+routes inside the ring (hybrid ring-mesh network), MAY be defined to be
+used with the SILC protocol. Additional specifications MAY be written
+on the subject.
