Low Redundancy Destinations

Exact bounded path counts are shown for selected direct and nearby destinations. Other destinations use approximate representative counts. 22 exact · 160 approximate

Transit Dependencies

Score emphasizes lost reachable countries first, then lost representative paths, nearby destinations, and direct-neighbor exposure.

Role

gateway

Bahrain acts as a gateway because its network-relative degree, reach, or gateway-share signal is elevated; the gateway-share signal is around the 16th percentile.

Role labels are network-relative classifications derived from degree, reachable-country count, bridge coverage, and gateway concentration within the country-topology graph.
