what if we just disable remote quoting?

/me ducks ;)

> Is this true? I thought it does use the local liquidity curve for quoting let me have a look at the code, that's the only way to know for...

[RouteBuilder#getQuote](https://github.com/interledgerjs/ilp-connector/issues/344#issuecomment-300619614) uses [Ledgers#quote](https://github.com/interledgerjs/ilp-connector/blob/master/src/lib/ledgers.js#L36) uses ilp-core quote, which is remote. After that, [slippage is added](https://github.com/interledgerjs/ilp-connector/blob/master/src/lib/route-builder.js#L72) and the curve from the remote quote response is added to the connector's "own" quote response,...

sorry, by 'disable', I did not mean 'remove', I just meant 'use only in the correct circumstances' (so only 1. and 2. and not 3.)

Curves in route broadcasts is what we currently have, and it's a direct result of the "complexity is in the connectors" design choice. We should only switch to curve-less route...

The current situation is based on honesty: each connector broadcasts a curve, and a sender has to trust each connector along the path not to steal a little bit during...

In this network: ``` 1- C -1 / \ A --3-- B ---3--- D ``` route ABD has cost 6 and route ABCD has cost 5. But you can only...

So what, concretely, would be the cost function of the distance-vector routing step? Just reachability of a destination? (cost of a route is 0 if reachable, infinity if not)? And...
