    Some node software/firmware doesn't propagate nodes that have an
    alias beginning with "#". Those aliases are meant for backbone nodes
    and this behaviour is a way of "hiding" the backbone nodes from
    regular users.

    Nowadays this isn't of much use as most(?) implementations don't
    comply with this "standard"...
