It's sort of "common knowledge" that the traffic out of Finland is always a lot more than traffic to Finland, and indeed this is due to the ftp archives they have there. So I would say that we do have an excellent cache in Europe (Finland). How about NSF doing some caching, so people from over there didn't have to pick up everything from Finland ? :-) -------- Bjorn Eriksen SUNET/NORDUnet Operation Center, KTH, S-100 44 Stockholm Phone: +46 8 7906513 Fax: +46 8 241179 ber@sunet.se /S=ber/PRMD=sunet/ADMD=sunet/C=se/
