This reminds me about how network traffic worked in a book called “The Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson (author of Cryptonomicon, and Snow Crash). In the book they described every device or application being a node and packets were routed through random nodes until they were pieced back together at their destination. That there was no central routing in these cases. It was a plot point because it’s noted how difficult it is to track messages in this kind of networking. I’m not sure I’m remembering it correctly but it’s a neat idea.
