Bill, To be brief, but hopefully not too fleeting, the majority of the standards orgs - ITU, MEF - use packet loss to derive availability. Loss% = the % of packets which were transmitted but not received by the destination host. As for availability, loss is measured across some time period. If d

I think the desired goal here is to separate the access SLA from the backbone SLA. That is, consider a simple picture: Network Cloud--Provider Edge Router-Local Loop-Customer Router Network availability is the % of the time the customer router and provider edge router can communica

We use the BRIX active measurement system (BRIX now owned by EXFO) which gathers round trip time, packet loss, and jitter randomly every minute 24x7x365 for our major backbone links to calculate SLAs. "Network Availability" can be measured empirically using BRIX calculated values of packet loss, an

Subnet Size for BGP peers.

I have a question about the subnet size for BGP peers. Typically when we turn up a new BGP customer we turn them up on a /29 or a /30. That seems to be the "norm". We connect to many of our BGP peers with ethernet. It would be a simple matter to allocate a /24 for connectivity to the customer
