Is there a paper or a presentation that discusses the drops in the core?
If i were to break the total path into three legs -- the first, middle and the last, then are you saying that the probability of packet loss is perhaps 1/3 in each leg (because the packet passes through different IXes).
It is unlikely packets pass through an IXP more then once.
“Unlikely”? That’s putting it mildly.
Unless someone is selling transit over an IX, I do not see how it can happen. And I would characterize transit over IXes far more pessimistically than “unlikely”.
Hi Patrick, I'm told it happens relatively often in networks supporting a lot of schools. Being an unpaid pass-through for schools paying other ISPs functions as a loss-leader that attracts more schools as customers.
