I am looking for a general description of how USENET does routing.  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.
