Hey all,
If I could add a NAP to this list, the Sprint NAP is having
horrific packet loss and I understand that legal action
was necessary to get the invovled parties to resolve the
situation.
Here's the information I received from a source at MCI. I
suggest you label this information as rumor and change it
as you see fit. :)
There is a FDDI Ring at the NAP which was overcrowded.
It apparently took some legal action to get Sprint
(or whoever is responsible for the Sprint NAP :) )
to make the necessary upgrades. What I've heard is that
4 GigaSwitches are being installed from MFS and that
this installation/upgrade ETR is 1-2 months.
What I can tell you for sure is that we are seeing between
10-25% packet loss on a daily basis across that NAP. We
have seen these numbers on both our MCI and UUNet connection.
(for the record, the UUNet packet loss is generally lower,
of course I get randomnly disconnected from various sites
when using UUNet... its all compromise these days...)
So, where is Bob Metcalfe when you need him??? :)
Sorry for the me too post... I feel like an AOLer...
