To engage briefly in another thread, I have a question. For the
last couple weeks I've noticed a degradation in the connection
between where I live and where I do most of my computing (call me
an ur-telecommuter). It seems that the ANS/CIX interconnecting
point has been bogged down.
Now, I don't have access to enough networks to confirm this, but
I've noticed that connections between PSI and Sprintlink are
running at about a 2 or 3% packet loss -- pretty reasonable.
Connections between PSI/Sprintlink (CIX) and ANS seem to be
imposing an additional 10% packet loss on top of this.
Anyone out there able to confirm and/or explain this?
Is there a mailing list that deals with day to day network performance?
