Since node 1 heard the rebroadcast by 2, it will not rebroadcast again. Node 3 heard the message for the first time and the HopLimit is not yet zero, so it starts a rebroadcast for potential other receivers.

### Regular Broadcast Intervals
Without additional modules configured, nodes will produce three different types of regularly intervaled traffic as part of the mesh:
1. Device Telemetry
- Controlled by `telemetry.device_update_interval`
- Default: 30 minutes
2. Position
- Controlled by `position.position_broadcast_secs`
- Default: 15 minutes* (with [smart broadcast](/docs/configuration/radio/position/#smart-broadcast) enabled)
3. NodeInfo user
- Controlled by `device.node_info_broadcast_secs`
- Default: 3 hours
As meshes grow larger and traffic becomes more contentious, the firmware will increase these intervals. This is in addition to duty cycle, channel, and air-time utilization throttling.
Starting with version 2.4.0, the firmware will scale back Telemetry, Position, and other ancillary port traffic for meshes larger than 40 nodes (nodes seen in the past 2 hours) using the following algorithm:
`ScaledInterval = Interval * (1.0 + ((NumberOfOnlineNodes - 40) * 0.075)))`
For example an active mesh of 62 nodes would scale back `telemetry.device_update_interval` to 79.5 minutes instead of the 30 minute default.
