Re: Resilient Internet

Hi Mike,

BFD  on the links in the path that you can control  (if your
Networking OS supports it reliably ) can provide sub second failover)

for assurance you can use Ethernet OAM (to show that your network is
ok) (not much help for the internet ...

it may be worth reviewing the paths between your network and where the
radio station wanted / the service delivered or streamed to ?

but if an 3rd party after your upstream provider has a faux paw it
would be unreasonable for the customer to blame you...
