hi, there,

Could anyone tell me where are the  measurement results about where the
pkts are lost? where the congestion happens?

At NAPs? on peering links? or in local networks?

I heard of some comments, such as "pkt losses in a backbone are rare",
"pkt losses mostly happen at NAP or peering links", etc.

I want to find out if we have some measurement results some where.

thanks,

yingfei
