Hi Murat, I never saw any literature about this topic. But I think it is not too difficult to calculate (or estimate). A misconfiguration will, at least, impact on two points: network outage and re-work. For the network outage, you have to use the SLAs to calculate the cost (how much you lost from the customers' revenue) due to that outage. On the other hand, there is the time efforts spent to fix the misconfiguration. Under the fix, it could be removing the misconfig and applying a new one correct. Or just fixing the misconfig targeting the correct config. This re-work will translate in time, and time can be translated in money spent. Regards On 8/2/12, Murat Yuksel <yuksem@cse.unr.edu> wrote:
Hi all,
I am looking for literature on the (monetary) costs of misconfigurations in an operational ISP network. Are there any such studies I can benefit from?
In a larger context, are there any thorough studies exploring the cost of building and running a large ISP network?
Best,
