Now you've totally put your foot in your mouth and demonstrated that you never understood the meaning of the quote of the main LN dev.
Lolz. You Dunning-Kruger think the issue is about optimal path algorithms, but the quote clearly states it is about determining the algorithm to decide who has the accurate database of the topology and dealing with conflicts/faults in the accounting thus the need to revert to only the stable nodes along with RP routing:

"In the RP model, other routers do not need to know the addresses of the sources for every multicast group. All they need to know is the IP address of the RP router. The RP router discovers the sources for all multicast groups.
The RP model shifts the burden of finding sources of multicast content from each router (the (S,G) notation) to the network (the (*,G) notation knows only the RP). Exactly how the RP finds the unicast IP address of the source varies, but there must be some method to determine the proper source for multicast content for a particular group."
Get off my lawn Lauda. Stop trolling my thread with your ignorance, else I will report you to yourself (the mod).
Are you referring to the the shortest path algorithms?

It uses a decentralised method of routing by everyone knowing the topology. In the future we will implement RP routing, which dramatically decreases the requirement to know the full topology of the network down to only the 24/7 online nodes.
