Now that the New n-N Paradigm has figured out how to use
KPC-3 digipeaters to FILTER OUT some n-N traffic,
my recommendation is to decide how far away you want
traffic to flood into Albuquerque and put filters on those digis
It may be 3 hops away in one direction, 4 hops in another
and only 2 hops in a third.

So all you do to custom filter, is to add the right capture
aliases to the UIDIGI Parameter in the KPC-3 TNC.  If you 
want to filter all above 4 hops from a given direction, then
at those digis and beyond caoture WIDE5-5, WIDE6-6 in
the UIDIGI alias list.  If you want to filter all above 3 hops
from another direction then add WIDE4-4 and WIDE5-5
to the UIDIGI Alias list.  and so forth.

Every digi if it has room in its UIDIGI LIST should capture 
WIDE6-6 and WIDE7-7 paths.  This way we will never
see those again...

This use of UIDIG as a pre-emptive filter for specific
WIDEn-N's is a very powerful technique and is part of 
the New n-N Paradigm...
