> Even if you disregard push vs pull, 'propagation' still implies spread through proximity.

I don't think so? Using the same example, I would say news propagates, and there is no specific topology it spreads through.

There is a logical topology though, no?

1. Propagation implies no such thing.

2. As with the OP, the content marketing piece referenced fails to discuss the DNS beyond resolver activity, and thereby presents the same painfully half-baked construction of the system.

But there is a physical or logical topology through which it spreads?
