Performance was measured over link rates of 2 megabits/sec and 20 megabits/sec
with ping times from 66 millisec (within a continent) through 200 milliseconds
(between continents) to 600 milliseconds (satellite link).
Test conditions included packet loss rates from .001 (one in a thousand) to .01
(one in a hundred). These are typical losses found in long-haul
Internet Protocol (IP) links.
