[MIT study and backbone bandwith] I looked up the authors of the study. Pearah and Sharifi are graduate students. I did not find Kim and Romano. I think the authors got sidetracked by the details and did not properly grasp the big picture. And then a lack of proper peer review before the study was published. I have experience with a backbone meltdown. The internet link between europes science network and the american internet was seriously overloaded for several months. 30 to 70% packet loss with ping. It was impossible to download a big file. The transmission would simply stop after 50 KBytes or 2 MBytes and you could try again indefinitely. Or do it at a saturday morning when there was a little less traffic. If you read SI threads you would click on next and wait 10 seconds or 30 seconds or forever until the next post appeared. I hope that the backbone capacity grows faster than the demands placed on it by users with broadband network access. If this does not happen automatically by technology evolution then I think we will get new access fees that are based on bytes transmitted to finance a aggressive network buildout. Andreas
