I don't quite understand what you are proposing. Are you saying removing the averaging mechanism makes this patch obsolete and allows replacing the TTL/TQ values as the code does now (without the patch) ?
No no this patch is good, the removing of TQ average can be a following step as now average is not forwarded anymore, but only used as a comparative value between path in another point of the source code.
This follow-up step needs a volunteer. It is a bigger operation to remove the averaging and ensure everything still works. :-)
Do you mind explaining in simple words how the averaging could cause routing havoc together with the strict OGM forwarding patch ? I did not understand. Or are you in favor of removing the averaging for style / performance reasons?
