The whole goal of the "new paradigm" was to get a path that eliminates
the ping-ponging of duplicate packets between digipeaters. If the
digipeaters are set up correctly and it's a WIDEn-n packet, then you
will only see each packet one time per digipeater. Using a wide area
path sends the packet out further to more digis - it doesn't (at least
it shouldn't) result in any additional duplicate packets in one area.
