AW: [Sip] B2BUA
Henry,
unfortunately you are comparing apples and pears when stating that the telecom service failed for days after Sept 11, while Internet traffic continued smoothly. The mentioned "telefon service" consists of thousands of (real-time) calls to emergency centres while the Internet traffic consists mainly of requests to the Web pages of CNN and others (with bad response times) to retrieve *information* on the status of the catastrophe.

Henry,
The Internet has had a few famous outages as well. Besides, if all the
telco traffic was put over IP, with today's level of QoS on the Internet, it
would have been brought to its knees also.
To say that one is all goodness and light and the other all evil doesn't do
us as a community any good as when customers find out there are problems
they tend not to believe anything else we say!
Only vapourware is flawless. Most people know that. Respect the
intelligence of your customer, or they will find somebody that does!!!
Pete.
