So if someone (say an eyeball network) was putting out a RFQ for a gig say of upstream cxn and wanted to spec full reachability to the full V6 net, what would the wording for that spec look like?
Maybe require something roughly like this in the SLA: "Customer may notify Provider upon discovery of a network Partition. A Partition exists when correct BGP routes available via at least 90% of comparable Internet service providers are absent from Provider's BGP feed or do not otherwise function. Where such Partition persists for at least 6 hours from notification, Provider shall make a 100% service credit starting from notification. Where such Partition persists for at least 24 hours, Customer may terminate this contract without penalty until 30 days following the Partition's end."
Would that get $provider's attention?
No. They'll either agree blindly or consider you a hard case. Either way it won't change their actual behavior. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Owner, Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/>
