-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I've just finished my monthly round of type I remailer testing. This test
doesn't include remailers announced after I started; they'll be inclued next
month. (Also coming in March will be tests of at least one other nym server.)
As in January, I sent posts from my PPP account here (at Aracnet, this time,
rather than Teleport) through a given remailer to an account at alpha.c2.org,
then back through the remailer to me. This is, by design, a very different
sort of test than remailer pinging and the like; in the number of hops and
chances for things to go wrong, I think it reflects actual usage much more
closely.
Trip time is the interval from being posted to mail.aracnet.com to arriving
in my mailbox there. All times are given in hours:minutes. Posts were made at
all times of day. Unsurprisingly, those made late at night (particularly in
the midnight-to-6 am range) returned most quickly.
I've included the January figures for comparison persons. I remain curious
about the differences and eager to find an explanation.

The differences here are because gondolin.org had serious DNS problems
in January that caused alot of mail to be bounced. Those problems were
rectified.. hence our traffic flows now...
The latency differences are normal for gondolin because we are not on the
net, we get our mail via UUCP one hop away from the internet itself.
Since our polling is fairly irregular, our latency will move up and down
from month to month.
