Re: Who owns Mae-West?

[Bill Kerney <ucsd.wkerney@edu>]

A company called mfst.

Want to see something cool? Go to
http://www.mfst.com/MAE/west.aggr.overlay.html

Shows the aggregate throughput in Mae-West over the last five days. I've
been following that graph for the last two years or so, and its amazing
how the Mb/S just keep creeping up higher and higher. I remember once
when it finally broke the Gb/S mark... now it runs at 1.8Gb/S during
prime time and only drops below 1Gb/s between 4-5AM on Saturdays and
Sundays. :)
