Are you saying that if ANS were to cease providing service on May 1 that
the commercial networks have enough excess capacity to handle the 10
terabytes of traffic that the NSFNet handled in December 1993? I wasn't
aware that there was this much excess capacity in the commercial
networks.
Since I have never seen packet and byte count statistics for the
commercial networks comparable to what is published every month by Merit
for NSFNET it is hard to become aware of the aggregate capacity
available from the commerical providers. What information source do you
rely on for your assertion above?
