If my memory serves me correctly, we currently select the first step in routing at random as a security measure.
Translating this over to NGrouting, I suggest that for the first hop in a request, instead of using the RTE to estimate the per-key request time estimate, we use a random number between the minimum and maximum points in the RTE for that node. This introduces randomness into the first step - but without ignoring other issues such as connection failures, QRs, and DNF liklihoods.
