Unacceptable Delay

Sat Jul 12 00:41:02 UTC 1997

  we've just received a bunch of nanog mail here at genuity that was
delay *eight* hours between the time it reached merit.edu, and the
time our mx host recieved it from merit, according to the headers.
we've received external mail from all over the place all day with no
apparent delay.  has *no* one else seen any great delays in the
messages from nanog?

  i don't think the packet loss has been that bad for 8 hours. :)
