Note that, barring manual configuration, latency is the only bit of
information we have that allows us to distinguish the Ethernets from
the tunnels.  Unfortunately, using latency naïvely leads to unbounded
oscillations in some cases due to the discontinuous feedback between
routing decisions and queueing delay.  I /think/ that I now have
a design which I /believe/ might (or might not) have the following
properties:

   - oscillations are bounded in all cases;
   - the frequency of oscillations is bounded;
   - if an equilibrium exists, then it will be found with high probability.

Unfortunately, the maths of the problem is beyond me, so don't expect
anything more than some rough intuitions for the time being.

I'd like to take a look if you don't mind, though I not sure algebraic number theory is the best suited branch of mathematics. But I'm no more than a novice at networks, so I really don't know how to formulate the problem.
