strong vs weak host

Hi all,

I followed "Using netem on one..." with interest and want to thank the 
participants.  I'd never come across those terms (strong host, weak 
host, arp flux) before.  Researching them broadened my networking 
understanding tremendously.

The following link hit all the bases in your discussion: 
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/258810/ 
linux-source-routing-strong-end-system-model-strong-host-model 
?answertab=votes#tab-top

My question has to do with cost between the models where cost refers to 
time to route.  Since the strong model seems to involve a lot more 
decision making is there an appreciable difference in the time spent 
routing versus the weak model or is the difference so small as to be 
inconsequential?

Thanks again for the continuing education,
Mike Wright
