It has sure failed under load today. Killing it.. 'Nuff said. Lots of similiar traces on the MTR (matts traceroute) from the system as well. the resulting tests from today are crudely presented at: http://speedy.higherbandwidth.net/resultsall.cgi Click on the IP address to see the trace.. An amazing link is: http://speedy.higherbandwidth.net/results2.cgi?ip=209.244.4.106 Sure.. the web test is not perfect.. but that is a LOT of variety in results. Like this one: http://speedy.higherbandwidth.net/results2.cgi?ip=12.170.34.5 Thanks folks..
