Could someone give an update on the latest ARPANET performance
problems?  Has there been a significant recovery?  The last
we have seen on this list was word of the futile attempts
to connect to the former address of a host operating
a root domain server..  Off the list I have heard concerns
about backbone bandwidth insufficiencies and
PSN overloading, exacerbated by gateways in operation off
of the PSN's.  Is more known?   Have others noted intermittent
reduction to a non-operational state, plus an overall
decreased throughput available in reaching other sites?
