Orbit

Well, either my probes don't pick up the jitter, or I'm guessing the naming convetion for j wrongly.

I see

jns1-hgtld.j.root-servers.net jns2-hgtld.j.root-servers.net jns3-hgtld.j.root-servers.net jns4-hgtld.j.root-servers.net jns5-hgtld.j.root-servers.net jns6-hgtld.j.root-servers.net

for purposes of tcp, that may be one flavor of jitter that alarmed the verisign folk. but see joe's pointers to http://www.isc.org/pubs/tn/isc-tn-2004-1.html and http://www.isc.org/pubs/tn/isc-tn-2003-1.html

but i suggest we wait until we have data from widely distributed edges before starting to form tentative conclusions.
