And what type of congestion is it, medium? switch? router? transport?

Would you want to consider one or the other or both in the > panel? It's the users who pay the bills, but it's only at the provider level that I (a self-appointed NANOG archetype) can act. Being vastly undereducated, I am forced to consider both at the moment. If I get smarter (fat chance), focus may be more appropriate. Feel free to have a bash (and that's what it takes sometimes) to educate me. randy - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
