Now we just need a Telco or three in NZ to support ATM at STM-4 rates.
Is anybody really waiting for that? If you're shifting an STM-4s worth of data around, it's probably a stream of packets, and it's probably IP, and you probably want to use POS. You probably don't want the additional complexity, cost, operational overhead, cell tax and SAR latency that using ATM would involve.
Also, ATM is the work of Satan, which should be mentioned, for the record.
aggreed, pos is much simpler, even if you do have to add a few extra parameters to run cisco pos interfaces over sdh -- Brendan Black - Evil Engineer Extraordinaire - ratfink(a)xtra.co.nz UK mobile: +44 7790 525596 Linux User# 44680 "You know, it's at times like this when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young!"
