CA*net has investigated the 10 to 15% packet losses we are seeing on
the link from BCnet to the NSFNET.  The data line looks completely
clean -- packets are not being lost because of corruption.  But the
traffic in the north-bound direction is overloading the link and the
routers are responding appropriately by throwing packets away.  I have
asked CA*net to let me know what our usage of the link has been over
the past few months and await word from them. 
 
The overload may well be caused by the video feed being multicast from
the IETF meeting currently in progress.  Can all people who are
receiving a feed please let me know?  Let's be sure we are receiving
only one.
