The Myth of Five 9's Reliability (fwd)

2002-04-24 Thread Pete Kruckenberg
From the Canarie news mailing list. I don't think I've ever experienced five 9's on any telco service, I have always assumed I must be the one customer experiencing down-time, and the aggregate was somehow five 9's. How is network reliability calculated to end up with five 9's? Pete.

Even disregarding the issue of whether 99.999% network reliability is possible, people have made it abundantly clear that they don't want it. In this case I define to want as to be willing to pay even a little bit extra for. This is even the case in POTS telephony. I know lots of people who
