Hi,

For an update on the QOS issues, please see:

qbone.internet2.edu

The testing is done on the Internet2 network called Abilene.

Abilene is documented at:

internet2.edu

The operations are done at IU and the network is accessable at:

abilene.iu.edu

This network rides on Qwest provisioned fiber and is a combined effort with Qwest, Cisco and Nortel all contributing.

This 'concept' that Telecomguy has that Nortel is 'core' and cisco is 'edge' is kind of wierd and has little application on these newer networks. Nortel provides the Sonet geer, cisco provides the routers (which we call core routers). Clearly both are necessary.

Before we get too proud and both claim that Internet2 rides on Cisco/Nortel gear and create some new ad campaign, the fiber is from Lucent :-)
