Well, True. But the idea is to have a full mesh of 'n' sensors each doing 'tests' to the remaining n-1 sensors. Finding asymmetric routes should be trivial as I plan to feed it my router configs from rancid, for detecting interfaces that belong to the same router. ( Of course, this can't be extended to the Internet in genral. )
