Should the Internet follow the nuclear and power industry and come up with a set of standarized terms for different degrees of events: blackout,
brownout,
flicker, etc. Or follow the telecommunication industry which uses a
single
word, congestion, for most problems.
IOPS attempted to do something similiar, at least for IOPS members. However, the document is publicly available, and goes on to provide methodologies to define and measure latency loss, so that when one ISP talks to another, they are talking close to the same language. The doc can be found at: http://www.iops.org/Documents/PacketLoss.html /Sean
