Juliusz , The fuzzballs indeed used a delay metric. They made little nests at the earth stations in the SATnet program, as well as the routers used in the early NSFnet. In its original form, the ARPAnet also used a a node state metric like the fuzzballs, but switched to a link based metric lik

2011-12-28 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
Hi, Sorry for the offtopic post, but I really don't see another place to ask this question. I hear that the Fuzzball routing protocol used packet delay as a routing metric. Does anyone recall if that's right? Was it the RTT, or was it attempting to perform an estimate of one-way delay? More ge
