Yes, it is completely wrong, just because ISP's Employees usually asks questions like as "What is your OS version? What is your hard drive?" etc. I gave very-very old info, may be it was true just 4-5 years ago.
CISCO licenses their PIX by number of concurrent TCP sessions, and it is not IP... It is on different layer... Of course, ISP may have different policy depending on their technology and their connections to another ISP, they are all intemediaries... Which ISP have you worked for, UUNet? WorldCom... TCP is over IP. Always. -----Original Message----- From: Andrzej Bialecki Fuad Efendi wrote: > For ISPs around-the-world, thew most important thing is the Number of Active > TCP Sessions. > This is completely false. Having worked for an ISP I can assure you that the most important metric is the amount of traffic, and its behavior over time. TCP sessions? We don't need no stinking TCP, we route good ol' IP ;) Please check your facts before claiming something about all ISPs around the world. -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com
