I noticed a serious DECREASE in performance just after the link came up, but now I too am seeing a major performance improvement (it's been a long time since I could FTP from MIT to Stanford at noon on a Friday!). My guess is that there were some initial tuning problems after the new link came up; not too surprising given that this is a satellite bounce instead of a land line. Presumably somebody at BBN can give a more detailed report. --Rob
