[NNagain] transit and peering costs projections

[le berger des photons]

as interesting as this all is,  this wasn't the discussion I'm looking
for.  Perhaps you know of somewhere I can go to find what I'm looking for.
I'm looking to figure out how to share two different accesses among the
same group of clients depending on varying conditions of the main wifi
links which serve them all.  Thanks for any direction.
