This will guarantee several things:
1) the sender will have no idea how far his packets will go
2) the network will always be 100% busy with routine
lights-are-on-noone-home packets doing nothing
3) The user that needs to get packets from A to B cannot
4) The priority user with a LIVE immediate need cannot
communicate any better than a home station with non
moving beacons. And he wont have any clue if the system
will deliver his packets too where they need to go right-now.
5) The network becomes completely indeterminant.
6) The network is extremely dependent on sysop-hands
on-tweaking to do anyting other than "routine". And
experience shows that getting a SYSOP to make real
time changes in some areas takes not just hours, but
months.
Good luck.
