What I wanted to get to was a scenario where traffic was symetric
between two nodes, eg, use the same links from a-b as b-a, it makes it
much easier to understand what's wrong when things behave funny...

Maybe performance is not the most important factor in Hecnet.?

-P

Ps: In parts of the big internet, the metric for a link reflects it's
    delay (remember speed of light in glass is not that great...).
