Which is just *too* bad, as we were able to glean marketing stats about
their network while they had this information :wink:

Thank you for making Internet a bit more paranoid place, Scott.

Next thing to follow: disabled traceroutes. You know, you
can find quite a lot of interesting stuff by looking at the
network topology. And that terrible IP RR option!

There's no use in promoting corporate paranoia at the expense of
engineering cooperation. It is like butcheing the hen which lays
the golden eggs. Knowing link capacity was useful (while it lasted)
to get the idea of what is more likely to be dropping packets
on the floor when customers complained.

But, then, i may be getting sentimental.

I hate to point out the obvious, but all of this info is still available
for customer links. Try tracerouteing to cais.com or gmu.edu or netscape
and you will still get the link banwidth...

This info no longer seems to be present on all of the backbone links.
Just guessing, I would speculate this may be due to new naming
conventions on the 12000's.

Thanks,
