Yes. The whole system was organized around the FedEx shipping schedule, including
when the trucks would show up in Wiamea Canyon, Kauai (no later than noon, local time).
Labels would be preprinted and boxes would be ready to go, as there was about 1/2 hour
from end of tape spin to beginning of the shipping window.

BTW, when I did VLBI for the Navy, we used to move literally tons of
tapes around the world
per month and achieved sustained bandwidths > 1 Gbps, albeit with
FED-EX, not routers.

Does this take into account the delay from encapsulating the tapes into a FED-EX packet and assigning the appropriate layer 1 header, then the queueing delays experienced while awaiting an open buffer on the next FED-EX truck?
