The following questions do not exactly belong to LANs, but are assumed
to be most relevant to this news group.  Responses will be appreciated.

1. Does anyone have any result of performance measurement on the ARPANET,
   and/or know about any published materials containing such information?
   I want to get some cost parameters such as latency and throughput
   that have been `measured'.

2. Can anyone give me info about NSFNET?  I heard that it is replacing
   ARPANET to connect research institutes around the entire U.S.A. and
   runs faster than ARPANET.  Specifically, I want to know its data rate
   (Is 150Kbps correct?) and a reference I can cite for the data rate.

Thanks.
Byung Suk.
