Frank said in an earlier post:

<<'DLC' usually would connote an older technology in this day and age. When attempting to portray a next generation platform, the DLC would reside on the "before" side of the page.
It is used, essentially, to effect "pair gains" [in denominations of 64 kb/s DS0s, in the main], from copper or fiber loops and trunks.
Like remote channel banks, they employ TDM multiplexing techniques to subscribers who reside outside the normal copper reaches of the central office's immediate serving area, or to heavy usage locations, even those which are nearby, which are congested and require "pair relief."
What Mr. Fun was saying, I believe, was that this is not a very flattering prop to be using during a presentation for next generation delivery platforms. Correct me, Fun, if that wasn't your intent.>>

and Mr. Fun replied as follows to that particular area:
----------------------------------
As for the Cisco DLC, I just had to laugh, because while Cisco likes to talk about "new
world, old world" and "voice will be free", it knows it needs to play in an architectural
framework defined by others. DLC is a point where data traffic can be separated from
voice and shunted to the internet.

funny Frank, the older technology just changed to next generation technology in a blink of an eye. Seem to be learning quick. |
