Sorry, but I don't quite understand the connection between hop penalty and=
=20
orig interval that you are trying to make here. The orig interval regulates=
=20
the interval in which the network is flooded with topology information wher=
eas=20
the hop penalty influences the likelihood of being chosen as a "hop" toward=
s a=20
destination.
