tiers?

Interesting Tier 1. You'd only have 2 Tier 1s in this case, MCI with
their OC12 backbone and Sprint with their OC3 backbone. UUNET, ANS, BBN
(the other big three) operate a DS3 backbone--UUNET is not yet at OC12 to
the best of my knowledge. Put things into persepective.

Rob,

I'm not saying that there were many....:slight_smile: but I'm looking towards the
future as things begin to get muddled and that mixed nets could be
considered and lets not forget exceptions....as we all know, there are
always exceptions...:slight_smile:
