And so the reason for this is I felt that we've done nothing but making hub and spokes or multi-region fabrics. We haven't dived into some of the things you can do with route manipulation to kind of influence traffic flows. So to start with, we're going to focus in from the perspective of Boston, but we're also going to look at Philly for a reference point of what's going on.
