[PATCH v8 15/16] Documentation: remove the constraint on the distances of node pairs

[Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com>]

At present, the distances must equal in both direction for each node
pairs. For example: the distance of node B->A must the same to A->B.
But we really don't have to do this.
