Re: [802SEC] 802-SEC reflector delay




Buzz,

Actually what you detected is one of several cut and paste errors.  I
used cut and paste a number of times in the generation of the table and
failed in several instances to then correctly edit the result.  I have
made the corrections in the table quoted below.

With the corrected data, it took my second message only 3 seconds to get
to from me to the IEEE server.

Thanks,

wlq
