> Interesting, was this changed recently? I researched after noticing
very large swings in moria1 votes the last several weeks. One possible
problem with Asia is core network link saturation during busy times.
Saturation on a path can result in a throughput collapse for TCP
connections.
Oops. Mentally crossed the system name with Seoul, but I see it's MIT.
Is it possible MIT peering is under pressure lately? Some vote swings are
close to 10x.
