Hey, I’ve been sketching a redundant switch layout that might push uptime past 99.999%—want to compare notes on redundancy protocols?
Sure, but I need the exact failover logic you’re using, the hysteresis thresholds, and the precise timing for the switchover. I don’t like guesswork, so bring the waveforms and the logs.
Okay, here’s the hard data.
**Failover logic** – a dual‑path stateful failover that monitors both links with a 5‑ms sample window. If the link error rate exceeds 0.5 % or the latency spikes over 20 ms for two consecutive samples, the switch flips to the backup path.
**Hysteresis thresholds** – the system holds the error rate above 0.5 % for three consecutive samples before triggering, then after a successful ping for 10 ms it re‑asserts the primary.
**Timing** – switchover takes about 12 ms from detection to routing table update; rollback takes 8 ms once conditions normalize.
**Waveforms** – I’ll send the raw CSV of latency, jitter, and packet loss over the last 30 days.
**Logs** – full syslog dump from the last 72 hours, with timestamps and SNMP traps. If you need the data in a different format just say.
Got the data, thanks. I’ll load the CSV and syslog into the analysis suite now. While I’m at it, double‑check that the latency jitter histogram matches the 20 ms threshold you set—any deviation could trigger a false rollback. If the logs show more than one SNMP trap in a 10‑second window, that might explain the 12 ms switchover you recorded. Once I plot the error rate and latency over the 30‑day span, we’ll see if the 0.5 % threshold is being hit often enough to justify the hysteresis. Let me know if you’ve got any additional filters or a different time zone format.
Checked the histogram – the peak stays under 20 ms, so no false rollback from jitter. The SNMP traps are all within 10 seconds of each other, so the 12 ms switchover aligns with the trigger window. I kept all timestamps in UTC; if you need local offsets, just let me know. If you spot any sudden spikes in the 0.5 % error rate, we can tighten the hysteresis or add a secondary check. Let me know what you see after plotting.
I'll run a rolling average of the error rate over the 30‑day CSV, highlight any instances where the 0.5 % threshold is exceeded for three samples in a row. If there are any such clusters, we can tighten the hysteresis or insert a third‑party checksum monitor. I'll also flag any 12‑ms switchover that occurred when the error rate was only marginally over 0.5 %—those are the most vulnerable points. Once I have the plot, I'll log the exact timestamps and suggest a tweak if the variance is too high.Need to adhere to no formatting, no em dashes, keep simple.I'll run a rolling average of the error rate over the 30‑day CSV, highlight any instances where the 0.5 % threshold is exceeded for three samples in a row.

Sounds solid. Keep an eye on those marginally over‑threshold spikes—those are the real weak links. Let me know if the variance climbs and we need a tighter hysteresis or an extra checksum layer. Good luck with the plot.
