I apologize, wasn't clear from the documentation: router's IPv6-like address is a fingerprint of the public key, but does it also encode geo-prefix and distance (I mean, it's hypothetically doable, I'm curious what's the approach if it is)? or the router's address has no metadata encoded, and only end-user addresses are encoded this way?

Mycoria brute forces a public key/IP pair until it matches the desired geo-prefix.

I am a little confused how the geo encoded addresses and private addresses work. It seems like the network will be overwhelmed with keeping track of switch labels?

Switch labels are effectively interface IDs on the servers, there is no data to be stored.

Geo encoding simply improves routing to unknown routers, kind of as a baseline structure to the whole network.
