He describes it as a long drawn-out exercise in futility. A non-trivial employee has to spend eons on the task. It's a recursive onion peeling, or a data version of Tom Lehrer's "I Got It From Agnes"... And once done... the errors found, the diversity restored, and the report signed off; it's soon worthless...because the carriers soon shuffle things around Yet Again.
So here's the 64GB/s question: If carriers are being paid to ensure physical separation between circuits for the life of the circuit, why is it that they haven't implemented change management systems (and I don't solely mean the software) to ensure they they *can* (not even that they will) manage to ensure such separation? A simple "don't move this circuit without investigation" flag that would drill-up to higher level flows would seem to be enough -- though certainly I am not familiar with the internals of the CMSen at such scale carriers.
