[HECnet] Circuit costs (again!)

[Johnny Billquist]

After having my links up and running a couple of days now (and they work 
fine), I've come to realize that if we want to have a somewhat efficient 
topology, we need to agree on circuit costs.

Now, that said, in todays internet world, network speeds are fast enough 
that this isn't really a big problem. So if people don't want to, I'm 
okay with that.

But otherwise we should try and use some agreed upon scheme for setting 
costs on circuits. The best suggestion I've seen so far is to base it on 
ping times. Would people be willing to adopt this and implement it all 
over the place for level 2 routers? Because, if not everyone agrees, 
then I'm wasting my time here. :-)

The exact cost scale we can discuss, if we agree on doing it. But it 
needs to be pretty much used by everyone, or else it's just a waste of 
time and energy.
