What if the destnation's network is chronically congested? Or >if the exchange point between your upstream provider and the destination's >provider is congested? Or some other fill_in_the_blank ongoing >non-emergency problem at the destiantion? No. I was referring to packet loss due to problems here at ENTERZONE or at FNSI.NET. God knows I we can't control what happens to a packet once it hits that VA based ISP. I would swear that they are releaving congestion on their internal network by load balancing between /dev/null and /dev/void at the MAEs. (grin) >I have no doubt that you maintain an excellent network, and that you have >an excellent working relationship with your upstream provider, but how are >they going to control what is occuring within {big Tier 1 provider}. They can't. But they can weight their session with "medium Tier 1 provider" as preferred if the agreement allows until "B.T.1.P" gets a clue or enough complaints from their peers and customers. ------- John Fraizer (tvo) | __ _ | The System Administrator | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ | The choice mailto:[email protected] | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / | of a GNU http://www.EnterZone.Net/ | /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ | Generation A 486 is a terrible thing to waste...
