i see, so i am to understand you wish us to simply *trust* that your results are valid based on vague references to your methodology? hey everyone, i have just completed a study that indicates in some circumstances a 28.8 modem is faster than a DS-3! no details at this time, but i swear it is all true!
This isn't as silly as you think. At the February NANOG, Van Jacobsen showed the results of some research in which they discovered some situations where web pages could be retrieved over a 28.8k modem link faster than over a workstation connected to Ethernet, connected to a T1 line. Just remember, that TCP flows are not water flows and aggregated TCP flows in a big pipe do not behave at all like aggregated water flows in a big pipe. ******************************************************** Michael Dillon voice: +1-415-482-2840 Senior Systems Architect fax: +1-415-482-2844 PRIORI NETWORKS, INC. http://www.priori.net "The People You Know.
