Duplicate Path/Graph Information for different Metrics

[hgn]

lowest-loss {
   A -> [1] -> B
}
highest-bandwidth {
   A -> [2] -> B
}

here the path info is with the exception of the path identical. If there is only one link available at all the message may look like this:

lowest-loss {
   A -> [1] -> B
}
highest-bandwidth {
   A -> [1] -> B
}

So it is complete identical. Is there a better way do encode information when we assume this happens more often? The question is: happens this more often or not?

Here is a quick rundown over the first few messages of a 500 node random network

Total no. of paths	no. of duplicates	percentage of duplicates
8	4	50.00%
44	10	22.73%
194	19	9.79%
276	37	13.41%
442	48	10.86%
766	70	9.14%
816	70	8.58%
924	40	4.33%

And here a 200 node random network, not as dense as the network above

Total no. of paths	no. of duplicates	percentage of duplicates
22	9	40.91%
74	22	29.73%
156	48	30.77%
172	56	32.56%
236	84	35.59%
236	83	35.17%
362	99	27.35%
362	119	32.87%
388	115	29.64%
390	114	29.23%
