Please log in for more thread options into either an old Frame or new MPLS network when we need more than a single T1, but less than a DS-3 What about the copper vs fiber issue.... if we only have copper avail going into our facility. PS - any other newsgroups where this non-specific hardware vendor, and more carrier oriented discussions might take place ? tnx - | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options If you have to get into a F/relay cloud then the best you can do is probably N * T1 - either treat them as a line group or just partition your PVCs down different pipes. An alternative that was popular in Europe was to use IMA to aggregate several E1s into a bigger logical ATM pipe - you lose maybe 15% to cell overheads, but the balancing happens per cell, so you get very good utilisation of all the pipes. MPLS is the way to go for more choices - uk fix for the same kind of in between speeds is 10 Mbps Ethernet as a tail (or SDH on a CPE mux at your site) - but you need fibre access for it. You can get higher speed than T1 on ADSL / SDSL, and maybe find a telco who allows bonding? Some of the systems (pairgain?) will bond multiple SDSL links and present it as Ethernet. Finally - work supports Ethernet over microwave as a tail at up to 100 Mbps - but you need a carrier that supports it, and line of sight to an equipped mast. Given the costs for microwave, dishes et al it may be cheaper to get fibre installed anyway (depending on how far you are from a useable duct) - and the fibre will give you a way to get to 1 Gbps and higher. >

Please log in for more thread options tnx for the info -
I guess I'm looking at how to accomplish the N*T1 physically ? We had previously used Sprint - and they offered muxing T1's using the Datalink ? mux. BUT - that required the carrier to have one on their end, and offer the service. SO - just checking to see what's around (in the US) that is offered from the carrier, and what hardware is required to performing the muxing function. We have a location where the 40 year old telco conduit is totally full, and for a new fiber run, they need to cut across the street, some land, parking areas, etc to even get to the physical building entrance... > > what options are available from the carriers for the local loop

They offer a DS3 mux.... http://www.charlesindustries.com/acquisition/m13_multiplexers.htm -ja > tnx for the info -

Please log in for more thread options We use partial DS3. Populate channels as required. Or for INET, upgrade
spead as requried, Only good if you start out with at least 8 T1 for voice. SCB/AT&T uses the MX2800 on the CPE side for the Mux t1 used for Voice/Data. For Inet they just install a router with DS3. Then charge for bandwidth as ordered.. Assuming your entrance has some coax available. If you are cocerned with only data muxing using T1's to transport for the purpose of establing higher spead internet then all the major mfr have IMA cards for their routers to inverse multiplex T1s. Cisco's IMA works well. Not sure about Nortel IMA cards. The previous statement of ATM cell overhead applies. Chris > tnx for the info -
