I took the survey. It’s short and sweet — well done! I do have a question. You ask "Are there any good?” Any good what? -mel On Jan 15, 2019, at 10:59 AM, Vanbever Laurent <lvanbever () ethz ch<mailto:lvanbever () ethz ch>> wrote: Hi NANOG, Networks evolve in uncertain environments. Links and devices randomly fail; external BGP announcements unpredictably appear/disappear leading to unforeseen traffic shifts; traffic demands vary, etc. Reasoning about network behaviors under such uncertainties is hard and yet essential to ensure Service Level Agreements. We're reaching out to the NANOG community as we (researchers) are trying to better understand the practical requirements behind "probabilistic" network reasoning. Some of our questions include: Are uncertain behaviors problematic? Do you care about such things at all? Are you already using tools to ensure the compliance of your network design under uncertainty? Are there any good? We designed a short anonymous survey to collect operators answers. It is composed of 14 optional questions, most of which (13/14) are closed-ended. It should take less than 10 minutes to complete. We expect the findings to help the research community in designing more powerful network analysis tools. Among others, we intend to present the aggregate results in a scientific article later this year. It would be *terrific* if you could help us out!
