I agree the Internet performs poorly between a lot of sites. There is much we can do to make it work better. My prediction is it is more likely to get worse than better in the near term.....:( My current "pet peeve" is that peering is more political than technical these days. There are customers that will pay more for better service, but it's a much more difficult sale. Limiting growth is very difficult, probably impossible. Many ISPs have VC or public money invested now, so the pressure to increase sales is pretty irresistible.
