Network Path Latency
Routers in a network are organized as a BST based on their IDs. The 'Latency' between two routers is defined as the sum of all node IDs on the unique simple path between them. Given the insertion order for a BST and two router IDs, calculate the total path latency. You may assume both router IDs exist in the tree.
Example:
Input: 5 3 8 2 4 7 9; 2 4
Output: 9
Explanation: The path from 2 to 4 is 2 -> 3 -> 4. Sum: 2+3+4 = 9.
