Argentina
In December 2001, Argentina (RETINA) conicted to Ampath, so the increase in the performance can be seen from SLAC.
Around June 2006 the TCP throughput of Argentina increased significantly. The average RTT reduced from 600 ms to 200 ms.
The minimum RTT reduced from 250 ms to 200 ms.The packet loss has also decreased significently.
(The main question that remians in my mid is that Argentina is a big country and whether all the country has seen this significent
improvement or this is only the backbone which we are monitoring?)

Brazil
Around Janruary 2001 - July 2001 the loss decreased from 8 % to 1 %. The Average RTT decreased from 375 ms to 200 ms
The TCP throughput improved but it havent stabalized (still lots of variation)
Chile
In June 2001, Chile's REUNA becomes the first LA NREN(National Research and Educational Network) to get connected to the Ampath POP in Miami.
As a result the TCP throughput increased significently. Minimun RTT reduced from 230 ms to 200 ms and Average RTT reduced from 725 ms to 250 ms
Packet loss reduced from 10 % to 1 %.
