BTW, when I did VLBI for the Navy, we used to move literally tons of
tapes around the world
per month and achieved sustained bandwidths > 1 Gbps, albeit with
FED-EX, not routers.
Does this take into account the delay from encapsulating the tapes into =
a FED-EX packet and assigning the appropriate layer 1 header, then the =
queueing delays experienced while awaiting an open buffer on the next =
FED-EX truck?
