- That is, in fact, what I was doing. NO packets go through the router, as
- best I can tell, when this is happening.

- I've partially solved the problem by turning off the advertising of MIDnet
- routes on campus, which reduces the number of nets being RIPped from 300
- to about 30. So now the router pauses only 80ms every 30 seconds. Much
- better, but still bothersome. I would prefer to fix the Ciscos' scheduler.
- Guess a phone call to them is in order.
