Hi Frank, How about telling us how many hops you're going through in order to get to David Z with your video app? Uhh, 22. But the good news is...... it is now down to 11 hops to SI in Seattle. Last summer, the typical route was 16 hops to go 300 miles! Time to bring in that Corvis ultra-haul gear. Hehe.

The delays are actually quite a bit less severe today than they have been since I've been logging this data last Saturday. Why? Beats me. I'm quite impressed with the lack of latency getting back and forth to Seattle. Much improved from a year ago. Best, Ray :)
