I would not be surprised if some of the bigger providers now have bigger
networks in their test labs than the ARPANET/MILNET combo was - ISTR it was on
the order of 4,000 total nodes in the 1984 era. I remember being surprised
when my then-current employer joined both networks that the 3,000+ nodes on
Bitnet and the size of the Arpa/Mil aggregate being comparable (and Bitnet may
have been even bigger at some points).
And let's face it - the Arpa/Milnet was a test network, not a production
network.
