The main issue was routers centered around Kansas City. Most of the East Coast US trafficwent through KC. Those routers sucked ass, and so you learned pretty quickly to play it safe. For West Coast people, this was less if an issue but you still had the routers for San Diego.
Keep in mind, most of the code for this network was written in Fortran, and eq seriously stressed any Fortran-based intranet. I worked the backbone in KC. I know what I'm talking about.
