[ih] Global congestion collapse

[David L. Mills]

Joe,

That's my point. The elephants are a small percentage of the population, 
but generate the vast amount of congestion. My recent PTTI paper 
(www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/papers.html) show that 78 percent of the 
congestion seen at busy NTP servers is due to 18 percent of the population.
