Resend of the patch in http://trubka.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2023-June/017058.html
ETX link quality estimation algorithm is useful for link types other than wireless, especially when using babel with tunnels where packet losses do occur.
Hi I looked at your patch with intent of merging it, i like a separate option for selection of dynamic metric algorithm, but i noticed that i misunderstood how recently added RTT mechanism interacts with the rest. I thought we have three alternative link quality / metric estimation algorithms: - fixed (k-out-of-j) - ETX - RTT But in fact RTT is independent metric, which is added on top of fixed/ETX metric. Is this intentional? Does it make sense?
