So does the intermediary node with the "4.3.2.1 is also a destination for 1.2.3.4" routing entry also send copies of the packet to 4.3.2.1? Or just to 1? If copies, what happens if the copies also go through intermediaries that create copies?

Is this more efficient than just letting the end-stations create additional flows between any additional IP addresses? If yes, how?
