* [FAQ](../faq/)
  + how does cjdns choose which path to take? latency? number of hops?
    * choosing paths presupposes knowing them, which can get in the way of finding the _optimal_ path. Paths to nodes are stored preferentially based on the [xor metric](../cjdns/functions/Address_xorcmp.md).
    * the path choice metric is a combination of various factors (latency and number of hops are among them). This is poorly documented, and we need someone to explore the exact details. Contributions should go in `../cjdns/functions/`
