Regions - ShadowJonathan/ByteCart GitHub Wiki

A region is a group of rings plugged in routers and sharing the same region number (i.e. the first field of an address). A region may contain 2047 rings.

There may be up to 2047 regions connected through a backbone in a world, numerotated from 1 to 2047.

In a region, all internal traffic is managed inside the region by an autonomous system provided by the routers of the region.

All external traffic from or to another region must pass through a backbone network.
