I suspect that your new technology simply adds another variable to the best-path-selection process based on your ping/traceroute script RTT's to a specific network based on what you have divolged thusfar.

Oh god, I hope not. RTT has never been an accurate predictor of end-to-end performance. (Just ask anyone who bought into ping-based global server load balancing.) ASPATH length is almost as bad (as a predictor) as RTT. Serve to learn, man.
