Dear René, ah, it seems I overlooked that sentence. Thanks for clearing this up. I agree, filtering based on probability and then weighing based on cost is probably very similar to doing it vice versa. Kind Regards, Elias On 18 Mar 2021, at 10:12, René Pickhardt wrote: Dear Elias,

Dear Elias, Thanks for your kind words! In the paper we suggest clients sort paths by probability but skip the ones that charge fees that are too high for a user, which could be defined in a user setting. I should have repeated that when I expressed that implicitly with this sentence in my mail:

Dear René, thank you for the great work! One quick question regarding the consequence you mentioned: it seems plausible that manipulating the path choices would become harder, if the ability of doing so was correlated with the capacity locked in the network. However, if paths were only
