Hi Folks
At the risk of making a possibly naive request, could
someone point me to data on ISP network performance
(routing stability, packet loss, latency) ? I am
primarily interested in the first metric, and am
trying to understand the relative stability of large,
_well-engineered_ ISP networks. In other words, with
what degree of confidence can I predict the IP-level
path between two PoPs of a large ISP. Please note
that I am not getting into the general Internet
performance here.
Somehow I get this feeling that the answer would be
a fairly large...it depends ! It would be useful to
understand the influencing factors as well.
Thanks.
Rajesh.
