Thanks for the link, one of these days I’ll have to give Babel a try. Reading section 2.3 Stability Issues sure does hurt my head imaging how wrong that could go (:

Hello Mike,

There is no concept of latency by peer in any main stream routing
protocol because latency can be influenced by traffic load, which
would create a real mess trying to understand the traffic flow. If you
know one link is always lower latency than the next you simply set the
cost manually at startup.

The Babel routing protocol does actually have such a concept; it's not
currently implemented in Bird, however.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jonglez-babel-rtt-extension-01 for
details.
