Hi everyone,

Thank you for your replies.

Yes. I agree.

Agree.

Actually I want three features that Babel has and BGP doesn't:
1) RTT based routing decision
2) Packet loss based routing decision
3) SADR

I fully support your suggestion to add features to BGP. But I am
afraid it is too hard to add RTT based routing decision.
How do you think about it?
