When I read the article I didnt recognize anything in it that correlated
with my understanding as to how BGP et all works. Am I the only one who
after reading it thought the author needs to cut back on whatever drugs he
is taking?

I have never seen any router "send test packets and time them" nor take
congestion into account when doing routing decisions?
