Mike,

If I run PING and it tells me I am not losing any packets and the packet times are 200ms or so then I conclude that the network between me and SI is probably working ok. If I get no packet loss and 200ms avg delay and I am getting long delays when I request a page, I fire off a note to Jill or Brad at that point and they tell me if SI server is having a problem.

If I'm getting packet losses or long delay times reported, I do the tracerte to see where in the chain of nodes the delay/loss may be occurring. Most times, it seems the mere act of banging (pinging or tracerteing) a node causes network fault detectors to go off and within minutes either the route has changed or the route delay has cleared up. If the losses/delays persist, I make a copy of the tracerte report and send it to my ISP and, if they can, they handle the network problem. This act also seems to make things clear up within a very few minutes.

This may not be the 'official' techniques used by net wizards/technicians, but it seems to work for me. I also guess it is important to hear from other users to see if they are also getting delays... in this case of this past weekend, only some people were reporting long delays and others were reporting no problem at all.
