You'd be amazed at the ways big universities manage to consume network
resources.  They *do* a lot of web serving, and do multiple usenet
feeds, and have thousands of people emailing, netscaping, and
everything else.

Things aren't too bad if you're communicating with another big
university, because many of those are on "Internet 2", with high speed
ATM links, but for anything that touches the commodity internet,
congestion is the rule, not the exception.
