I call bogus. The speed of light would have nothing to do with packet latency in this case, because as soon as the packets left the campus network, they would be subject to the usual delays of routers across the country. Given that this was written around 2002, I think the nation's router density was such that packets would traverse multiple routers between origination and destination, and that would bunkify any claims that the speed of light had *anything* to do with packet latency. --Dave -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
