here's some alarming ping statistics, done at about 2 pm, 22-Mar-96.
About 100 packets were transmitted before each ping was aborted.

ping to ftp.netnet.net:

  ----laslo.netnet.net PING Statistics----
  103 packets transmitted, 67 packets received, 34% packet loss
  round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 284/354/799


ping to barton.spring.com:

  ----barton.spring.com PING Statistics----
  106 packets transmitted, 61 packets received, 42% packet loss
  round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 396/481/1167


ping to ftp.wustl.edu:

  ----wuarchive.wustl.edu PING Statistics----
  111 packets transmitted, 59 packets received, 46% packet loss
  round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 286/364/808


ping to ftp.luth.se:

  ----ftp.luth.se PING Statistics----
  131 packets transmitted, 90 packets received, 31% packet loss
  round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 470/555/1195


ping to ftp.cdrom.com:    (note: this site has a T3 connection)

  ----wcarchive.cdrom.com PING Statistics----
  108 packets transmitted, 70 packets received, 35% packet loss
  round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 243/308/988


So, at least a third to about half the packets to/from outside .au are lost,
and the average response is significantly more than 300 ms.

So where's most of the packet loss occuring ???
