This read-write TruthValue specifies whether end-to-end delay is considered during cost-based route selection; if True, delay is factored in, otherwise it is not. An administrator enables this to make PAR avoid high-latency paths, such as satellite hops, when choosing among candidate routes, rather than optimizing purely on configured cost. For example, enabling delay consideration would make PAR prefer a slightly higher-cost terrestrial path over a cheaper but higher-delay satellite path for a delay-sensitive connection.
