Wee after only about a year Sprint have lost the "/"'s!
Thank you for making Internet a bit more paranoid place, Scott. Next thing to follow: disabled traceroutes. You know, you can find quite a lot of interesting stuff by looking at the network topology. And that terrible IP RR option! There's no use in promoting corporate paranoia at the expense of engineering cooperation. It is like butcheing the hen which lays the golden eggs. Knowing link capacity was useful (while it lasted) to get the idea of what is more likely to be dropping packets on the floor when customers complained. But, then, i may be getting sentimental. --vadim
