Hi John,

 

I think that folly never developed into anything.

 

Pete may have better info.

 

Best,

Subject: Network Operations Metrics

 

Alan and Pete, 

I am looking for some network metrics or industry averages and came across
your thread of some time ago.  You referenced some measurement metrics such
as those listed below.  I am looking for industry standards to look through
and base some investigations on, do you know of any published key standards
that are available to use in research and analysis?
