Switching Providers

After updating all provider entries for a destination in the performance hash, we switch to a new provider only if it offers at least a 10% performance improvement over the current best provider for the destination. Since the hash entries are updated at most once every $T$ seconds (in either the passive or active measurement schemes), the choice of best provider per destination also changes at the same frequency.
