I'm curious how everyone handles this.. Do you run reports and open tickets proactively with vendors that have high PDD? Do you just wait for clients to complain and than address specific numbers? I've recently been thinking about running reports and everything over 10 seconds gets reported to the vendor in question. But I don't want them to hate me. Thanks David -- -- www.ringfree.biz 828-575-0030

We consider 6 ?barely acceptable? and 8 broken and will complain. Usually we?ll get ignored, but we complain anyway. - Darren From: David Wessell <david at ringfree.biz<mailto:david at ringfree.biz>> Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 2:19 PM To: "VoiceOps at voiceops.org<mailto:VoiceOps at voiceops.org>" <VoiceOps at voiceops.org<mailto:VoiceOps at voiceops.org>> Subject: [VoiceOps] PDD: What's acceptable?

They're not going to so much hate as simply ignore you. Vendors are only interested in PDD reports where the PDD is substantially outside of standard deviation over the mean. Their mean. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com/ Please be kind to the English language: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/232906

Depends on the destination. Apparently some customers of ours report any PDD over 5 secs. We work any and all tickets we get submitted.

We only have one customer who cares/tracks this. We ignore it until they complain (and they generate excellent reports down to the millisecond). I don't recall anyone else every complaining about it, so we've never cared. On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 12:19 PM, David Wessell <david at ringfree.biz> wrote:

Some PDD to mobile numbers is to be expected, but most of our customers are quite used to < 4 seconds for landlines and gripe if over 7 or so.

Is the vendor in question by any chance Bandwidth/Dash/Inetwork ? We're getting really bad PDD from them recently, from 7 to 16 seconds to Los Angeles NPA 213. You think they would give us a 5XB ka-clunk-pop, some muted MF followed by hiss, panel-clicks and a ker-chirp on answer if they're trying to emulate the good old days. :-) -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV

Rural areas give us a lot of PDD as well.

I would say 6 seconds is pushing it, a lot of peoples equipment will send a CANCEL once their PDD timer expires if there is no 18X response within 6-8 seconds. With that said, we do not actively track it right now and handle PDD issues if they are reported to us and then pass them to the ULC that call egressed unless of course we are the reason for the delay which we rarely are.

Verizon Business (SIP) is now taking 30 seconds to reply with a 404 when calling a number which is not in service. Started a week or two ago. They have been less than helpful in the matter.

Can you explain how rural areas are "giving" you a lot of PDD? Or did you mean that long distance providers, when they have to terminate the call into a rural (typically high cost area) use LCR's that add to PDD?
