Hi,

I guess this is probably the right group to ask: is the heterogeneity of link bandwidths growing?
Another way of asking this is: across the whole Internet, do old links roughly get removed as quickly as capacities grow?

I guess the answer is no - but are there any good citable references for this? Data?

Cheers,
Michael
