Tier 1 operators do not do "best effort" really, at least not in their cores (and they have the SLAs to back it up). They buy hugely expensive top notch gear (Cisco 12000 (and now CRS:s) and Junipers) to get the big packet buffers, the fast reroutes and the full routing table lookups for each pack

may I make just a passing observation? From a technology point of view the best effort internet certainly "works." Not surprisingly the comments here are primarily debating the finer points of the technology. The point I am making in my report is NOT that the best effort network has technolo

We used such system in Russia for many years, with a few exceptions: -- did not used SNMP (because it is a sux!), used 'ssh/rsh router show ...' commands instead; - not top 10 traffic flows, but top 10 traffic flows + top 10 unusual traffic flows. Worked effectively. >To bring this back on top

The PSTN doesn't offer guaranteed end-to-end transmission, and certainly statmuxes based on expected load. Looks like similar capacity planning. The PSTN does guarantee a certain service level, latency, call completion etc. Perhaps you refer to latency. Most people don't care as long as HTTP a

Are there any BGP extensions that would cause a BGP speaker to foward all of it's paths, not just it best? I believe quagga had made some recent attempts in this direction. IIRC the problem isn't to do with the route annoucements, it's the route withdrawals. I believe BGP only specifies the prefix
