Well, after a great deal of thinking we have decided to modify a few values in the link weights file to relieve the load on Cornell - Canada01 and PSU - Cornell. The new values are: CORNELLC - CANADA01 = 5 PSUVM - CORNELLC = 5 and it implies an increase of the PSUVM - OHSTVMA link to 5 to avoid rerouting too much traffic through this link. Note that this is not my analysis -- I don't have enough knowledge of US topology to judge on the pros and cons but from what little I know it sounds reasonable and the people who have come to this agreement can be trusted I think :-) I am therefore issuing a PUT command for the LINKSWT FILE on all servers -- there has never been any real-scale test of this feature so let's see and let's hope it works... :-) Eric
