Yes. In both cases, I assume that the connections are equivalent. > If, for example, all connections are totally symmetric - both > directions the same - but the D<->C link has substantially higher > latency (both ways) than the other three, then (absent congestion and > the like) A<->C will perform better if routed through B. In a properly configured OSPF network, the routers will know that D<->C has higher latency and adjust their routing decisions accordingly.
