 From my experiences, some are much better than others.  The main thing I 
think is to make it as clear and as easy to for the provider to act on the 
issue. So include things like, source IP,port, dest IP,port,  time stamps 
in GMT.  Note that the time is actually accurate--i.e. your clocks are NTP 
sync'd and make that clear in the report.

No.
