Unlikely, all else being equal. The market demands the least expensive routes. Which is why we push for new IXPs on the Canadian side of the border, so that the _cheapest_ route will also be the _shortest_ route, and will remain within Canadian jurisdiction and the purview of Canadian personal privacy law, for instance.
Maybe it's time to dust off some of those "reserved for future use" IP security options. It's almost as if someone saw this problem coming a long time ago. - Marsh https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc791#page-17 Security This option provides a way for hosts to send security, compartmentation, handling restrictions, and TCC (closed user group) parameters. The format for this option is as follows: +--------+--------+---//---+---//---+---//---+---//---+ |10000010|00001011|SSS SSS|CCC CCC|HHH HHH| TCC | +--------+--------+---//---+---//---+---//---+---//---+ Type=130 Length=11 Security (S field): 16 bits Specifies one of 16 levels of security (eight of which are reserved for future use). 00000000 00000000 - Unclassified 11110001 00110101 - Confidential 01111000 10011010 - EFTO 10111100 01001101 - MMMM 01011110 00100110 - PROG 10101111 00010011 - Restricted 11010111 10001000 - Secret 01101011 11000101 - Top Secret 00110101 11100010 - (Reserved for future use) 10011010 11110001 - (Reserved for future use) 01001101 01111000 - (Reserved for future use) 00100100 10111101 - (Reserved for future use) 00010011 01011110 - (Reserved for future use) 10001001 10101111 - (Reserved for future use) 11000100 11010110 - (Reserved for future use) 11100010 01101011 - (Reserved for future use)
