G04-RT: Yes
Rationale
Multiple configured transport nodes can serve different network regions, forwarding packets and servicing path requests without a mandatory single central directory or transport processor. This is distributed placement, not guaranteed linear scaling; unnecessary transport nodes can increase announcement load.
Assessment method
Documentary analysis
Source context
Primary specification / explicit profile inference
Outstanding qualification
Measure announcement propagation, path-table size, regional hotspots and lookup load with multiple transport nodes. Global capacity and billions of devices remain unqualified.
