Most carries have "performance objectives" which they adhere to, and they specify some number of errored seconds per day per circuit, and those numbers may vary based on route-milage. Unfortunately I think most of those numbers are covered under NDAs, but I can safely say that 1 errored second/day would be well under the criteria and 1,000 would be well over, and anything in between depends on your carrier and route miles, etc., etc. --jhawk
