The red dots are the points for monitor AIOU, the green dots are for the remote UAF. The downward sloping lines are for monitor-remote hosts separated by roughly the same distance, e.g. monitors and remotes in Karachi and Lahore.
This routing will significantly affect the TULIP results for Pakistan and we will need to take the topological information into account in some form. Thus we will need to have a look at the PERN Deployment map. It will give you an idea of indirect routes. For example:
- The route from Islamabad to Faisalabad is through Lahore. Direct distance is around 240km. Routing distance is more than 400km.
- On the other hand, lahore to faisalabad is direct route.
- Similarly, Quetta has indirect routes through Karachi.
