So yes, 75 is the current number of Babel peers, but there are otherwise
many more peers and there will be even more. How does babeld scale in
this case (BTW, is this a problem with the protocol or the implementation)?

Should we then run multiple instances of Babel and virtually
interconnect them in order to reduce the number of peers of each
instance? This seems quite wasteful IMO. What is the bottleneck in
babeld that prevents scaling with the growing number of peers?
