Hey all, If I could add a NAP to this list, the Sprint NAP is having horrific packet loss and I understand that legal action was necessary to get the invovled parties to resolve the situation. Here's the information I received from a source at MCI. I suggest you label this information as rumor and change it as you see fit. :) There is a FDDI Ring at the NAP which was overcrowded. It apparently took some legal action to get Sprint (or whoever is responsible for the Sprint NAP :) ) to make the necessary upgrades. What I've heard is that 4 GigaSwitches are being installed from MFS and that this installation/upgrade ETR is 1-2 months. What I can tell you for sure is that we are seeing between 10-25% packet loss on a daily basis across that NAP. We have seen these numbers on both our MCI and UUNet connection. (for the record, the UUNet packet loss is generally lower, of course I get randomnly disconnected from various sites when using UUNet... its all compromise these days...) So, where is Bob Metcalfe when you need him??? :) Sorry for the me too post... I feel like an AOLer...
