we see that in general the East Coast sites (black) do better than the West
Coast sites. Also the lines show how the metric has changed from
July 95 to Mar-96. In all cases the Mar-96 metric has lower values (more to the
bottom right) indicating a reduction in performance as measured by this metric.
One of the sites with the largest degradation is BOVINE.UOREGON.EDU. Looking at
the average
daily ping response times, and packet loss
for Nov-95 thru Apr-96 we can see
that the 100 byte ping response times got much worse
around the 25 Feb 1996 and was particularly variable in Mar 1996 when the
Monthly Predictability measurement was made. Also note that
the packet loss got worse particularly after 28 Jan 1996.
