[Thread] Part IIA These are such large topics that I don't intend to but touch on a few points. Certainly others specifically Frank Coluccio and Sector have a far greater understanding than I have but I will post some observations. 2) Interexchange Carriers (non legacy) Cable & Wireless has laid optical cable for an OC-192 network and should be able to have it operational by the end of 2000. Presently or very soon they will be Beta testing vendors switches. The OC-48/OC-192 DWDM backbone point-to-point switches should definitely be considered. I asked the C&W sales person "what about an OC-768 switch(es)". And I replied perhaps some vendor does. ("The first line of routers in the ARANEA (TM) family, ARENA-1 (TM), will support a basic OC-48c port. These ports may be subdivided into multiple OC-12c or OC-3c ports or merged into OC-192 and OC-768 ports",.) Qwest (really like that name almost as much as NBase) has their OC-12 Frame Relay/ATM Network and their OC-48 IP network operational. "Quest is poised to answer the rapidly growing demand for data transmission, multimedia and long-haul voice capacity. At its full capacity, Qwest's 2 tarabit Macro Capacity (SM) Fiber Network has the bandwidth to transmit 2 trillon bits of multimedia information per second - in other words, it can send the entire Library of Congresss collection coast-to-coast in an estimated 20 seconds. Once fully deployed, this network will span more than 18,400 route miles, interconnect over 130 cities in the U.S., and could carry approximately 80% of the data and voice traffic originating in the U.S." I guess GTE and others know a good thing <g>. (Having access problems so this has to be in installments.) Ron
