What do you mean by "reasonable"? Do you mean what you can expect right now at a hoster, or what you should aim for when designing a system?

My thought is that 5 seconds to failover when a network element(switch/router/load balancer/FW) fails is reasonable. How many seconds is reasonable for fail over in such a situation? Thanks in advance. __ James DeMong Network Design Specialist TELUS Advanced Communications Phone: (403) 503-3718 Email: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Froutan Email: [email protected] Rackspace Managed Hosting <http://www.rackspace.com>
