Outage (planned and unplanned) notification

Got off the phone w/Hector @MCI indicating that they are currently have problems with their OC12 ckt in Illinois. Routing through their network is getting beat up...
I've noticed the sprint outage list has become very quiet, as has the MCI outage list. They seem to be quiet even during and after widely known problems. The same is true of most providers I bother to track. Even those providers I have signed agreements which include notification requirements. Since I still notice end-to-end interruptions of service, I don't think the network has really become as reliable as the lack of outage notifications might indicate. Are folks just not bothering to keep everyone informed? Should I go back to nagging your NOC folks with phone calls? Perhaps its just different expectations. For example, I don't bother to notify people about MAE-West outages that effect everyone because I assume the operator of MAE-West should handle that, and a NxN set of providers notifying each other isn't helpful. And a lot of the time extraneous notifications just muck up the trouble ticket system. Is there anything that will encourage pro-active notification? -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
