[HECnet] Circuit costs (again!)

either The effect of this would be to make DECnet prefer the route with the least number of hops. That makes a lot of sense to me and I would absolutely agree, BUT there's a problem... The problem is the HECnet bridge program. The bridge effectively makes everything adjacent to everything else, even though the actual communication goes thru psilo. Thus things look to DECnet like they're only one hop away when in reality they're at least two. The consequence of this is that two machines which both have a connection via the bridge and which have a direct point-to-point link between them (e.g. Multinet) will sometimes decide to talk via the bridge and will ignore the direct link. At least for my part, that not the behavior I want. Bob
