It may be a good idea to scrap the "Hub" part of your report or at least make 
it an option in whatever this program is that you wrote.

I emailed you before about this. Hubs, the NAB, "Star systems", are by and
large obsolete and of little importance or relevance technically and 
politically in 2018 where almost everyone is using an Internet mailer and/or
peering with other systems.

At one time, the Hub field was used by certain mailers, such as D'Bridge and 
possibly Frontdoor to indicate a system to host-route Netmail destined for a 
Private entry - One with Pvt/Unpublished. This is also known as "Host-routing 
privates".

For example:

1:229/800 - Hub
1:229/801 - Normal
1:229/802 - Pvt/Unpublished
1:229/900 - Hub
1:229/901 - Normal
1:229/902 - Normal
1:229/903 - Normal
1:229/904 - Pvt/Unpublished
1:229/905 - Hub
1:229/906 - Pvt/Unpublished

Say 1:249/1 writes Netmail to 229/802, 904 and 906. The delivery order if 
there was no route and the mailer was configured to host-route privates, would
be 229/800, 900 and 905.

Thats not to say Host-route-Privates is not used at all anymore, but by and
large its not as my understanding is that many Sysops will crash Pvt-destined
Netmail through the NC of the destination-network.
