Re: Initial Route Server Stats for MAE-East

["William B. Norton" <wbn () merit edu>]

Thanks for the feedback Curtis.  You are correct that one might get the 
wrong impression.  ( Our intent here was really to show the layout of the 
web page and get some feedback, and this ANS router just happened to be 
first.)  Dun just uploaded all the rest of the MAE-East Peer delay/packet 
loss graphs.  Thanks for the suggestion.
