Paul,
We are talking the *world* here, geography is actually important,
as well as topology.
It is a combination of geography *in conjunction* with topology.
I have a neighbor that is only about 2 miles away, however, a trace
runs to chicago
and back. On the other hand, I have a neighbor, where the next hop is
phoenix.....
It takes a synergistic build , using *both* these metrics.
My two cents...
PS. Keep the change. ;)
