I was surprised that each node AMPR-Net should have a complete and updated map of the network routing. And I asked about what kind of network topology is now.

AMPRNet is a mesh. Each gateway advertised in the encap/RIP must be directly routable on the Internet. When you have traffic for their subnet, it is encapsulated and then addressed to their gateway. This allows the traffic to take the shortest internet path between your two ISPs. If everything were routed through a central router, the paths would be significantly longer, there would be a potential for congestion, and there would be a single point of failure.
