The global optimum might not be the combination of locally optimal routes. The shortest route through a network segment to a peer may end up being globally slow

The global optimum might not be the combination of locally optimal routes. The shortest route through a network segment to a peer may end up being globally slower than a locally slower route to another peer which can handle the traffic faster.
- catern 9y agoThat's fine. If global optimization turns out to be significant, we can do it at the edge with overlay networks. No need for network operators to be involved.
- nine_k 9y ago> we can do it at the edge with overlay networks Is this really easy to do, with negligible overhead, and no need to seriously reconfigure what you already have?
