For us, ftp'ing from Sydney is often as bad as from the US. I don't >know what the Adelaide link is like. > >Does anyone from RMIT subscribe to this list?????? There are currently two US gateways. One in Sydney (4Mbit/s) and one in Melbourne (6Mbit/s). The information I have on this (as of a few weeks ago) is: ] All outgoing international traffic from Canberra, Sydney and the ] non-university Queensland networks is outbound across the ] Sydney-LA links, while all outbound Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin, ] Perth and Hobart traffic is routed across the 6Mbps circuits. ] ] For incoming traffic the northern US and European transit traffic is ] inbound routed across the 6Mbps system and other traffic is inbound ] routed across the 4Mbps system. ] ] The internal distribution of traffic within the Melbourne - Canberra ] - Sydney is undertaken within a 2Mbps ring which connects the ] Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney locations. ] ] In response to a detailed examination of traffic patterns this afternoon ] we have reconfigured the traffic flow within the south east to make ] better use of all available capacity. Incoming international traffic ] at Sydney is now load balanced across the two bearer systems, lifting ] some of transit traffic off the Canberra link systems. ] ] An additional Melbourne - Sydney 2Mbps bearer is scheduled to be in ] production in some 2 weeks from today - which is anticipated to impose ] some short term stability on the traffic flows within this section ] of the network by removing all transit traffic from the Canberra links.
