Ted Ross updated DISPATCH-10:
-----------------------------
Description:
The route computation algorithm has the ability to take link cost into
consideration when choosing best paths. Inter-router links need to be
configured with an optional cost metric that is fed into the routing algorithm.
Inter-router connection cost is specified in two places in the configuration:
The inter-router listener and the inter-router connector using a new attribute
called "cost". If the cost attribute is absent, the cost defaults to 1, the
lowest possible cost for an inter-router jump.
When a connection is established between routers, the Open.properties map will
contain an entry for a non-default cost. Each side of the connection compares
it's cost to the cost provided by the peer and uses the higher value as the
cost for the connection. There is no support currently for asymmetric cost
(even though the internal routing engine can support it).
The cost can be configured to influence the routing algorithm to favor certain
inter-router connections over others, or to identify long-haul connections as
having higher cost to keep the message forwarding for "closest" in a region if
there are any consumers in that region.
