It's interesting that he makes an extremely broad claim and doesn't back it up with data: "Delivering traffic to Comcast over standard 'best effort' paths, such as the transit circuits it purchases from Tata Communications, we have observed extreme packet loss for the majority of the day, dating back over six months." Without measurements, this is a lazy "because I said so" letter, easily ignored.

The Tata congestion is widely known and recognized in the ops community. For example, Richard Steenbergen (CTO of nLayer, a large wholesale transit provider with a lot of "big content" clients) confirms the Tata issues here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nanog/users/133861 HTH, -a ------------------------- --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
