I talked to Velotel [1] today about my IDSL (ISDN Digital Subscriber Line) connectivity problems. I also finished and ran the program to process the data [2] I've been collecting. And the stats aren't … well … they aren't all that good:
Threshold: 5s
Outtages: 862
Total time: 13d 12h 24m 9s
Percentage down: 1.037292%
Total outtage: 3h 21m 54s
Minimum outtage: 6s
Maximum outtage: 20s
Average outtage: 14s
Std. Deviation: 3.354110
Total time between outtage: 13d 9h 2m 15s
Minimum time between outtage: 25s
Maximum time between outtage: 25m 26s
Average time between outtage: 22m 22s
Std. Deviation: 119.640103
(Threshold is the outtage time below which I ignore for the generation of this report, as to remove the possibility of network congestion if I'm download large files)
So I mailed those results off, as well as the raw data file. Now I sit back and wait results.
