Hi Drew,

It was and remains a data problem, not a compute problem. You have to
have places to probe who don't object to receiving a usefully high
quantity of probes, and the capacity to issue and receive those
probes. Processing the results is, by comparison, not a whole lot more
consumptive than the normal best-path selection algorithm.
