I dont think they do. > Is there any particular advantage geometric mean has over median ? Median requires sorting, which scales much worse than one single nth-root operator since it depends on the number of peers. I'm pretty sure any approach is practically fast enough though ;) There is one thing this entire approach does not take into account though: multiple routes since it only gives one measure of load for the entire node, eg. even if the internet connection is saturated, does not mean the local LAN is. Uncommon scenario though, but I still feel the entire approach of trying to measure the connections queue is a bit weird. --- John B?ckstrand
