CERFNET gets its connectivity to the NSFNET backbone at the NSS here at the San Diego Supercomputer Center; however, it seems that all of the nets advertised thru the NSS here in San Diego seem to get fed into the MILNET via RESTON-DCEC-MB.DDN.MIL, which is pretty stupid given that MOFFET-FLD-MB.DDN.MIL is only 2 T1 and 2 ethernet hops from SDSC. MILNET connectivity from SDSC is pretty bad most of the time because of this. gkn ---------------------------------------- Internet: GKN@SDS.SDSC.EDU Bitnet: GKN@SDSC Span: SDSC::GKN (27.1) MFEnet: GKN@SDS USPS: Gerard K.
