Results have been inconsistent and somewhat confusing calling into question the accuracy of the tool. Further analysis is needed. A few days later the lost machine showed up in shipment at IU Bloomington with no explanation. IPv6 IOS can only switch packets at the process switching level.

While delivering a demonstration service in the first place, TransPAC File System will yield an opportunity for additional network measurements, profiling, and development of further network control mechanisms. The file system will be based on an AFS cell managed by Indiana University with a phased implementation of AFS servers at various institutions. The concept of the TransPAC File System was discussed during the Canberra APAN meeting. No clear direction for implementation is established yet. TransPAC monthly status reports for details of the project.
