Ignore it? >10% packet loss is quite within the normal range of parameters for a >packet switching network such as the Internet. I must disagree here. 10% packet loss within national backbones is a problem to be fixed as soon as possible. It is not something to be tolerated. An examination of some of the interconnect points will find providers talking across media that is far past saturation, and is at capacity. The good news is that from my point of view, these things are being addressed. Not as quickly as everyone would like (including me), but it's happening. >> my regional service provider.

Assuming Hans-Werner meant inter-NSP, I must differ with both of you.. There *is* quality control at the inter-NSP level. But there are things broken, as I said. There are also a bunch of folks working night and day to make sure it works as well as it does, and a bunch more trying to make it get better. Speaking only for myself... RobS
