BTW, when I did  VLBI for the Navy, we used to move literally tons of
tapes around the world
per month and achieved sustained bandwidths > 1 Gbps, albeit with
FED-EX, not routers.

Does this take into account the delay from encapsulating the tapes into a FED-EX packet and assigning the appropriate layer 1 header, then the queueing delays experienced while awaiting an open buffer on the next FED-EX truck?
