I run a shoutcast/icecast hosting business myself, and when something
like that happens, my first suspect is latency/routing. There really are
no failover systems for that, aside from using multiple DCs, but
honestly this is more of a DC issue anyway and it'll happen wherever you
go. It's usually orginating at the tier 1 carriers anyway, or some isp
thats got the hop between the csr and them.

I have a radio station customer who is utilizing one of those streaming
services to bring their broadcast station online. We've received a complaint of
a half dozen or so 1-second drops in connectivity over the Internet to this
streaming service in the six or so months they've been a customer. I consider
that pretty amazing service delivery. However, the customer does not. I suspect
this is a layer 8 issue, but what have your experiences been in these kinds of
situations, and what technical remedies would be available? I don't know what
sub-second failover systems exist, but I'm sure they're not cost-effective if
they do.
