Obviously tness7 is a big site for yours.

I just did a quick peek at d.usa.oh.1 for the map entry for ihnp4.  It
lists a total of 7 sites it connects to!  (Note that this is not the
sites that connect TO ihnp4, just those that ihnp4 publishes it will
forward to.)  Of the 7, 5 are DAILY and 2 are DAILY/4.

I submit that if more than 10% of your paths go thru DAILY or DAILY/4
connections then you or tness7 should seriously consider adding some
links.
