My thinking was that filters may want to do something like:
if (metric == smoothed_metric) metric += 100; /* route is stable, we can apply our policy */
but I honestly don't know if that's useful for anything in reality :)
I'm a little conflicted on this. On the one hand, it's nice to give administrators more flexibility. On the other hand, I want Babel to be as automated as possible: that's why Babel supported ETX from the outset, and that's why we developed RTT: so that Babel could adapt to a variety of real-world networks with minimal human intervention. Toke, what problem are you aiming to solve, and are we able to develop an algorithm that solves this problem without configuring policies manually? -- Juliusz
