ISP performance

[Rajesh Talpade <rrt () research telcordia com>]

Hi Folks

At the risk of making a possibly naive request, could 
someone point me to data on ISP network performance 
(routing stability, packet loss, latency) ? I am 
primarily interested in the first metric, and am 
trying to understand the relative stability of large,
_well-engineered_ ISP networks. In other words, with
what degree of confidence can I predict the IP-level
path between two PoPs of a large ISP. Please note 
that I am not getting into the general Internet 
performance here.

Somehow I get this feeling that the answer would be
a fairly large...it depends ! It would be useful to
understand the influencing factors as well.




Thanks.
Rajesh.
