Hi Tony,

Thank you so much for the responses and changes! All of this sounds great.

This can be instantiated by flooding on a given link. In the case of PTP links, we do not care that the nodes choose the same link for the edge, as they are functionally equivalent.  However, if broadcast LANs are involved, the distinction becomes relevant as other nodes will become part of the flooding topology.

This makes a lot of sense, thank you for the clarification.

Please consider adding a short note about how you are using the term 
edge in this case.


Best,
Reese
