Thanks, Jared. I'm not looking to quantify my network. I'm looking to
introduce artificial errors into a test network to see the behavior
against a product/system. I'd like to know if there is any data anywhere
on what might be expected on an average network. I'm not sure there are
such statistics, to be honest but thought I'd ask in the best place I
knew to ask.
Here is the Qwest link mentioned, by the way, in case anyone else is
interested.
