That is what node obsolescence settings could be used for. (OBSINIT and
OBSMIN)
It works with other things naturally like QUALITY, MINQUAL and
NODESINTERVAL to name a few. Those are all directly related to how
long NETROM nodes live in your system.
I would suggest you explore these settings and get a better
understanding of them. When you do, you might be able to think of a
way to control those peers you have routes with by static routes and
lower qualities or tuning the above.
Other things I like in other stacks like Xrouter is that we can set
QUALITY and MINQUAL per AXIP port. But I guess in BPQ you could
technically define another AXIP port for a peer and do that too. It is
just not a common practice. Everyone tends to lump all their AXIP
peers on one port in BPQ.
The above is more or less how I do it.
1) set the quality and minquality to allow only 2 hops by default
2) set static routes for peers that have larger (than i want) node
tables with a lower quality than the ports default quality.
3) naturally there may be a case to increase said quality for a peer,
such as your own neighboring network nodes.
