You probably also should learn to use a proxy or at least not post from your work IP address 72.55.92.23 since that tells me you work for a small Microsoft integrator in Grand Rapids, MI. I guarantee you I've managed more Linux AND more Windows hosts than you've ever dreamed of. But hey, thanks for reading my blog, dumb@ss. Imray,

It depends on your SLA. If your SLA is a next business day response and you closed the ticket before 17:00 the next day, you were within your SLA so that is 100%. Are you asking if I have a spreadsheet that tells you for any given day, what the next business day is? Raphael,

Good afternoon! How are you ? Sorry, but do you have any spredsheet to calc SLA ? For example: I Opened the ticket yesterday at 16:59PM and this ticket has closed today at 10:00AM anddd my SLA ir Worked days (08AM to 17PM)...By the way if you calculated this, you find the 3hours and 1 minut. All Rigth?! So can you help me with this please? If you don't understand my problem, contact me please :D Have a nice day! See you later!!! Best Regards, Raphael Teixeira Hi my friend!

]]> Comment on It’s Still the Latency, Stupid…pt.1 by Brandon http://www.edgeblog.net/2007/its-still-the-latency-stupid/comment-page-1/#comment-164390 Brandon Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:20:24 +0000 http://www.edgeblog.net/2007/its-still-the-latency-stupid/#comment-164390 I'm not sure that I agree with your conclusion in this article. As latency increases window size should increase, not decrease. Congestion windows are based off of packet loss, not latency. You have an advertised window which is equal to the buffer space on the receiving host and then a congestion window that is cut in half every type there is a lost segment. Latency doesn't come in to play for either of the windows, except that if you have a high latency network, you should increase those windows. To use your sandbag analogy, if you are going over a wall you add another person (or hop) because the distance increased. That now means to go at the same speed, you need two containers (increased window size). The fact that latency increased won't affect your actual speed as long as you appropriately manage your buffers and windows. That is however only the case when you are sending lots of data one way, if you are doing something real time (ssh, gaming) then latency is king.
