We need to be mindful of diversity in real world but also capture basic
common patterns (I'd agree that the paper perhaps should have said a few
more words about the former).
Skimming the paper turns up a key sentence, "Stub networks, on the other
hand, do not forward packets for other networks." What part of that led
you to think that stub networks forward packets for 1-4 downstream ASNs?
