The customer has asked me for some reponse time figures.  This is the
scenerio -
        ALL-IN-1 2.4  VMS 5.4-2  MR 3.2
Messages are sent from PROFS to SOFTSWITCH to MESSAGE ROUTER to ALL-IN-1 node
and then delivered to users.  What we're trying to measure is the time from
MR to ALL-IN-1.  The sender and Fetcher run every 7 minutes and 8 minutes.
The last 5 runs of the sender and fetcher average to 1 minute for sender and
2 minutes for fetcher.
Customer is using 7.5 minutes to go from SSW to MR.  They had been using 10
minutes for time from MR to ALL-IN-1.  The sender/fetcher used to run every
10 minutes.
So, I guess my question is if the sender/fetcher run every 10 minutes (for
example) and the time from SSW to MR is 7.5 minutes then -
the longest time that it should take for a message to go from SSW to MR to
ALL-IN-1 is 17.5 minutes. This is just a "best guess" effort.
I would assume that this would also depend on the actual number of messages
in the sender and fetcher and the size of the messages.
This number is used as a baseline. Actual message delivery times are compared
to the baseline (in this example 17.5 minutes for 1 way delivery). Those 
abovethe baseline are "bad" and those below the baseline are "good".
I hope this doesn't sound more complicated than it is.
	thanks - ann

| Don't say 'the longest time it can take is . . .'!! It can ALWAYS take longer! For instance, by default, the fetcher and sender will not run at the same time - so you may have to wait for more than one fetcher submission. grahame | |||||
