[Csci551-talk] Prioritization of routes

[mike wakerly]

Hi Amit,

Next-hop value. This would make the most sense, even if you just 
consider the information Dijkstra's algorithm requires.

So if you had 2-<[3 or 4]>-5-6, all other things being equal, the 
shortest path to 6 from 2 would not include 4.

Cheers,
Mike
