After reading this report, I'm left with an empty feeling. :-) It doesn't really say anything. Also, this report only addresses issues surrounding the residential subscriber, and any other subscribers whose traffic transits the PSTN. It does not concern private lines/local loops which are terminated directly into the DACS network(s), of which there are legions (and a substantially large portion of Internet traffic). - paul At 01:17 AM 10/23/98 -0500, Sean Donelan wrote: >The ATIS T1 committee has issued a new technical report on the reliability >and availability aspects of the interactions between the Internet and >the public telecommunications network. > >ftp://ftp.t1.org/pub/techrpts/tr.0/tr_55.pdf > >Abstract > >This Technical Report addresses the reliability and >survivability aspects of the interactions between the >Internet and the Public Telecommunications Network (PTN).
