I sometimes get a reply before I even see my own post. Tonight has been especially bad - has anyone else experienced this tonight? Marvin ============================================ In a message dated 97-09-24 00:29:36 EDT, you write: << It's not Majordomo, it's the internet nodes, amount of traffic, which hardware is up, which hardware is down, your local ISP's current load, are they doing a backup? lines that are up & down, power outages... basically a world wide phenomonen. If a node and/or route goes down, messages are re-routed, this causes backpressure, and the ripple can circumvent the globe numerous times before things even out again. During this ripple, messages are stored but not forwarded until available routes are not overloaded. It's sort of like a living organism. And can be modeled as a biological process. Jim >>
