k, fine - enjoy. For anyone who wants to
evaluate the bandwidth they buy on an ongoing basis, tools exist,
ranging from traditional network management pieces through to route
optimization. The question, surely, is not whether off-net measurement
is possible; it's whether it's u

your goodput if you throw, say, a multi-gigabyte ftp down the pipe, but
for short or light transactions, it's not bad at all. After all, once
you've accounted for first and last hop, your traffic is probably a
pretty minor fraction of total load on each link along the chain.

I suspect this is impossible to fix while retaining hop-by-hop routing.
Looping does indeed present a problem.
Sean,
I agree that this claim is innately suspect - I've seen a few
opportunistic press releases on this, at least some of which are clearly
false.
Now at the Security BOF in Phoenix, Avi and I both showed some data with
anomalies prior to the well-known onset time. Unfortunately, the
