Hey, I am not a genius -- but any EE knows the electrons don't travel anywhere near that fast -- it's the disturbance that propagates on the order of the speed of light -- electron speeds in circuits or wires travel at centimeters/second. Sorry-- that's something they kept saying during deregulation -- "it's just electrons" -- as though electrons were being conveyed from point A to point B ... annoyed me no end I don't know about the rest -- not up-to-date -- don't know much about networks -- I would think memory access and the processing of routing instructions take time, even in optical networks.
