Thanks for reading it through @fathamburger.

We have an internal joke in the office that we called "David's Law", whereby every time he did a Git check-in the performance of the network doubled. I don't think that will continue for very long, but we have a lot of ideas for network performance enhancements that will take several years (and many more smart people too).

David's Law is literally priceless lol. Hopefully it takes you a lot longer to hit the point of diminishing returns

Further thinking on it, the next nearest (physically) rule == better has been in place far too long that we've been stuck with since the early days of X.25 networks, token ring etc. Network architecture assuming some kind of fixed naturally fast cable in an office. Even if you guys dont get there, if in the process this mindset is finally jettisoned as a byproduct I'd consider it mission successful lol

I love bashing Australia but my connection to my last boss being half an hour away in the same city in Sydney was worse (sub 5mbit) than if I gave him a call now from virtually anywhere across the world with an ocean between us. That was the happiest part for me reading the white paper, quality of connection is what matters regardless of location and building of best fit logical routes
