Well. here's your problem; depending on the architecture, the 
IP addressing structure doesn't necessarily map to the 
network's cost structure. This is why I prefer the 
P4P/DillTorrent announcement model.

What's with these cute cryptic and ultimately meaningless names?

I used the term "topology guru" because I wanted something that
halfway describes what is going on. Coining a word with "torrent" 
in it is wrong because this kind of topology guru can be used with
any P2P protocol. And P4P seems more like a brand name that tries
to leverage off the term P2P.
