Wow, what a dispersion. I'm not calling into question the effort, etc., but seeing these numbers makes me wonder about the value of the results. The reasons for my suspicion are: 1) That there such wide variation 2) from sampling just a minority of the root ('s 13) "nodes" 3) considering that the topology/architecture of each sampled node is vastly different (I should ask - for, say, F, are the samples across all nodes of the [F] any cast cloud or just sampling at a few of the node's any cast members?) -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar Never confuse activity with progress.
