[HECnet] Node update

[Johnny Billquist]

Hi, Joe.

Your names have been added in the database. :-)

No, we do not have a geagraphical view of HECnet. I think one was done several years ago, but if that can be found, it is probably very outdated by now.
It would be fun to have a current one, though. Anyone feel like creating it?

It would perhaps make sense to use one as the basis for some connection setups. However, it is more difficult than imagined sometimes, because the geographical locations do not necessarily correspond with network connectivity. HECnet is usually more helped by low latency than high bandwidth, and figuring that out all over the place can be tricky.

Johnny,
At the present, I'm hitching a ride with Sampsa ...
I've taken:
8.501 - WOPR
8.502 - SIOP
Do we have a geographical view of the net? Not sure it make a lot of sense for me to forward several thousand miles / km, over to Sampsa... just to return to a "local" machine here in the states...
Thanks (and, apologies if its already been queried),
Joe
