Bell Atlantic rerouted most of the 911 lines to local answering points quickly, and didn't require the DACS rebuild to complete. I don't know if enough 9-1-1 calls were blocked for a long enough time to require filing a report. The reporting criteria are written regulations. Just like accountants look for loopholes in the tax regulations, carriers seem to look for loopholes in the FCC regulations to minimize what their reports. As Bob Cannon pointed out, the FCC is starting a "voluntary" project where ISPs would also file outage reports. So expect ISPs to start redefining things to avoid filing an outage report. I suspect that was also the reason why AT&T Wireless didn't initially file a report after Rochelle Park, although Bell Atlantic did. Wireless, cable, pager, satellite are treated seperately in the FCC regulations. The ISP reporting regulations were supposed to be posted on the FCC web site today, but I haven't found them yet. As always, I speak only for myself.

My mistake, Worldcom was filed under the wrong date
by Sean Donelan 24 Nov '99

My mistake, Worldcom did file a report with the FCC on September 14, 1999. It was filed with the FCC under MCI on August 8, 1999. I wasn't looking backwards through the files, only at the additions.

IP packet size distribution
by Niels Chr. Bank-Pedersen 24 Nov '99

Hi, We are in the process of evaluating different means of providing QoS (and whether this is sane or not is not the topic of this mail :) . The performance indications we have from our vendors are based on different packet size distributions, so we'd like to see how the distribution is on the Net in general. Our own statistics show: Router#sh ip cache flow IP packet size distribution (93363M total packets): 1-32 64 96 128 160 192 224 256 288 320 352 384 416 448 480 .002 .433 .054 .022 .014 .012 .008 .010 .008 .008 .008 .009 .007 .006 .005 512 544 576 1024 1536 2048 2560 3072 3584 4096 4608 .004 .004 .148 .035 .194 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 But we may have a few "nonstandard" applications within our network that could push the distribution towards smaller packets. Anyway, if anyone could provide me with their view of packetsizes I'd appreciate it (private mail would probably be appreciated by the list ;) . /Niels Chr. -- Niels Christian Bank-Pedersen, NCB1-RIPE.

Has "network congestion" become the new PR term for "network FUBARRED?" Bell Atlantic issued a press release this morning announcing they had completely restored their network at 5:40am this morning. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/991123/ny_bell_at_2.html
