Maybe it's because you're tracing from MCI ? If I do a traceroute from here (I get my T1 from AlterNet) to BBN it goes straight from Alternet to BBN's lines, NOT to nor through MCI. A traceroute from Alternet to Sesquinet goes straight from AlterNet to Sesquinet NOT to nor through MCI. A traceroute from Alternet to Net99 goes straight from Alternet to Sprint to Agis (new owners of Net99) A traceroute from Alternet to PSInet goes straight from Alternet to psi.net not to nor through MCI. So, I don't know WHERE your information is coming from but it looks to me that the other major providers aren't using MCI as their backbone, but are using their own physical backbone. If this is the case, how do they not have bottlenecks with their setup while MCI does? Oh, and fyi, sesquinet has an fddi link to MCI (and 25M to MCINET) william
