Aaah... anyone else here remember the classic posts from Geoff Huston
to the AARNet ops list saying we didn't upgrade the pac link due to

I don't believe I know this at all, but I don't think Elizabeth St is
an optus data centre... it might be a fibre access node, ie a local

but I know nothing about Optus' network any more... just remember
something vaguely in the public domain given at a conference a few
years back...
