In particular, I am interested in how a message originating anywhere gets to so many places, presumably without too much duplicate transmission, with such a complex network configuration. I'm guessing that there's a public-domain document, article, or at least write-up that exists on this subject. If anyone could point me to it, I'd appreciate it.
