Packet loss statistics
Is anyone aware of useful resources for packet loss over large LANs and WANs? Google turned up a nice statistics page for Qwest's network but not much else that seems useful to me. Our testing teams are trying to simulate expected network conditions and rather than go overboard, having something close to real-world parameters would be nice. Thanks! Ric
Re: Packet loss statistics
The Internet2 network publishes 10-second data for all interfaces on both its backbone network and the individual racklans in each of its cities: Backbone: http://dc-snmp.grnoc.iu.edu/i2net/ Racklans: http://dc-snmp.grnoc.iu.edu/i2net-hp/ Default graphs don't show errors. You need to create a custom graph and click the appropriate checkbox. If you want to view a large number of interfaces with their errors on a single page, you can create a Custom View that includes errors for any number of selected interfaces. -Chris On May 28, 2009, at 12:03 PM, Ric Messier wrote: Is anyone aware of useful resources for packet loss over large LANs and WANs?

Depending on what you want, you could use something like smokeping or owamp to measure your network. (Both can be easily found via the goog). There are also commercial packages (eg: firehunter) that can be utilized as well to measure your network. - jared

Depending on what you want, you could use something like smokeping or owamp to measure your network. (Both can be easily found via the goog). Thanks, Jared. I'm not looking to quantify my network. I'm looking to introduce artificial errors into a test network to see the behavior against a product/system. I'd like to know if there is any data anywhere on what might be expected on an average network. I'm not sure there are such statistics, to be honest but thought I'd ask in the best place I knew to ask. Here is the Qwest link mentioned, by the way, in case anyone else is interested. http://stat.qwest.net/statqwest/perfRptIndex.jsp Ric

And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
