 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol roughly
 based on DSDV and AODV, but with provisions for link cost estimation
-and injection of external routes.
+and redistribution of routes from other routing protocols.
 
 While it is optimised for wireless mesh networks, Babel will also work
-efficiently on wired networks.  In the worst case, it will generate
-roughly double the amount of traffic that RIPng would generate, while
