If 10 machines can act as brouter how does QNX choose which machine will do
the brouting?

which it figures is probably the fastest.
What if there are 10s path that have the same number of “hops”.
Imagine a setup like node 1 to 10 have two lans and node
11 to 20 have 1 lan connected to lan 1 and 21 to 31 are connecte
to lan 2. Any machine (11-20) can talk to machine (21-31), but
which nodes (1-10) is it going to use?

Ok that’s the info I was looking for thanks

Keep in mind that Fleet was not meant to challenge IP for routing (so it’s
choice mechanism is rather simplistic). To see a list of “next nodes” do a
netmap -b ; there is no way to edit/remove entries from this list, but they
are recalculated at the following times:
- completion of loading with the netmap utility
- a driver is started up, resulting in a netmap entry added
- a packet from an unknow node is rxd, resulting in a netmap entry added.
