One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives. When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate? -- === Anton Smirnov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Pacific Bell Internet Services "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit!
