| Towards the network/link or towards the node?
Sorry, imprecise wording kills, right? :-)
the second "network" should be "host" or "link" or "attachment point".
"towards" does not mean "all the way to". i could have written
"to the next router believed to be closer to the the {host,link,AP}".
In a routing sense, perhaps abstractly, the link or AP is a single
node in the network, rather than a thing behind which lots of hosts live.
