We at SAVVIS run continous pings to every backbone router that we own. (John - this does not include our ATM switches, we have no way to monitor latency between them). But if, say, our connection to Sprint or UUNET let's say, is latent, we would get UUNet on the phone immediateley. (ph is 800-900-0241, for those that don't wanna look it up, choose the appropiate options. Unfortuantely the multi-meg option (read: no hold time and clueful people) is password protected and I am obviously not at liberty to give that out). At any rate, we do notice latency, and if it's persistent enough, we do something about it.... Obviously *not* speaking as a SAVVIS represenative..... Jon On Mon, 11 Dec 2000, John Fraizer wrote:
Alternatively, you could expect that the carrier might notice themself that there is a problem.
Nah.... Forget I mentioned that. It'll never happen.

Heya, I'm getting a huge jump in ping times from alter.net to Verio in what appears to be Sacramento:
horrifying that neither of these providers don't have nocs, eh? sheesh!
