At around 0121 EST 12 Nov 1987 (i.e., this morning) the arpa-milnet gateway performance went from seriously awful to about 1/3 decent. Pinging sirius.caltech.edu (picked because we happened to be sending mail to them at the time) before and after produced a 92% packet loss with an average delay of 20 seconds before, and 67% packet loss with an average round trip delay of 2.88 seconds. What happened? Can we expect further improvements? Chris
