Some questions:
- Is it misrouting to route A-C-D-E, instead of A-B-E in above example.
You would need one additional node, but you prevent the use of a slow
bottleneck node (that in the current situation would probably back-off
from time to time).
- This mechanism would only take time into affect between nodes. Does it
also take time on a node itself? It could be added easily into the formula.
- Does this mechanism have disadvantages compared with the current routing?
- Is it hard to determine travel times between nodes? How long does a
transfer take on average and how long does a request take on average?
It's easy enough to determine the travel time to your immediate
neighbours, but if misrouting adds an extra hop to the path (A-C-D-E
instead of A-B-E), the overall latency might increase even if the
latency of each hop is lower. The overall bandwidth usage would also
increase.
