After building the backbone paths, we divide each backbone path into multiple backbone segments with almost the same length.
At the end node of each segment, called the branch node, the reverse direction segment of the route on the backbone path is added as an extension of the route toward the measurement node, called the reverse path.
This is necessary because both directions of each full-duplex link should be traversed by a measurement path.
Each reverse path has the same length with its backbone segment but the opposite direction.
