TXT56. Second, commenters should discuss what role, if any, the Commission or its designees should have in ensuring the network reliability and interoperability of wireline broadband Internet access services. For telecommunications service providers, the Commission has found that network reliability is of paramount importance in any number of settings and, in particular, has directed the Network Reliability and Interoperability Council (NRIC) to explore and recommend measures that would enhance network reliability and interconnectivity. Commenters should address the costs and benefits of authorizing NRIC to make technical interconnectivity and interoperability recommendations with respect to wireline broadband Internet access service.

NRIC V
NRIC Report to the Nation Jan 2002
NRIC One Year Trial Monitoring Internet Reliability |
|
| NRIC V held its meeting at the FCC on August 23, 2000. NRIC announced that the one year voluntary trial period of monitoring non traditional network reliability, including ISP reliability, will be initiated in September. Letters have been sent out to industry associations announcing the voluntary trail and inviting participation. The only known letter to the Internet community was to IOPS. (NANOG, which does a significant amount of reliability work, did not apparently receive such a letter. PJ Aduskevicz of AT&T and NRIC did make a presentation on the one year trial at the Fall meeting of NANOG. Powerpoint slides | Real Audio). The letter includes a template for filling out outage information. Data collected from the voluntary trial will be posted at the NRIC website www.nric.org. (As of Dec 2000 no information had been posted) There will be a mid-year report and a report at the end concerning whether NRIC recommends going forward with this type of outage reporting. The Trial is being administered by the National Coordinating Center of the National Communications System. The FCC Designated Federal Officer is Kent Nilsson.
Jan 2002: NRIC V recommended that the voluntary outage trial not be continued. |
