	I can tell you that during October/November of 1996 as a UC
Berkeley student and a member of the US DoD Bay Area GigaBit Network
project, the way it works is that all northern UC Campuses: UCSF,
Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis and the Office of the President are all
connected to a PacBell 34MBps SMDS Cloud that goes to the one outgoing T3
Sprint connection from Berkeley's Evans Hall to Srpint's International Hub
in Stockton which is where the major congestion is coming from.  It
depends on the routing also since if it hits CRL from PB-NAP, then things
will be better than hitting Sprint from MAE-WEST.
