Charlie,
Ok, that makes sense.
On another note, I'm sitting here chuckling at the thought of you, Vicky,
and me emailing each other almost real-time from the same hotel. :-) Such
is life @ IETF...
Yeah, poor Lotte trying to catch up on all these...maybe we owe 1 beer per
email haha!!
Ignore my earlier email about this forcing a limit on total number of hops
allowable in a route. I am wrong.
Having a max link cost means we would avoid really poor links...potentially
not establishing a route where one did exist. Unsure if we should do that...
Kind regards,
Vicky.

(consider adding a maximum single hop value JWD TODO)
This would be a bad idea
Why?
Mainly because various metrics do need the full range of values in order
to properly evaluate the cost.
However, if you really want to do this, then you could define a new
constant MAX_SINGLE_HOP_METRIC with the constraint that
MAX_SINGLE_HOP_METRIC <= MAX_METRIC, where the '=' is definitely included
in the "<=".
No objection to that, if Lotte wants to add the text.
