The OC3 interface on a router

here at corporate bounced and then went down hard. 

SMC issue between their router and their multiplexer. 

Did DNS catch it and figure it out? 

Why no, their On Call was about as helpful as tits on a boar hog. 

Chad caught it. 

To think that we don't get respect...unreal.

DNS On call even said he was going to look exactly where Chad looked and saw what was up...

51 seconds to download a 1 GB file on this interface (OC3). Unreal.

Using a file size of 1,000,000,000.00 bytes (1,000.00 Megabytes) the following download speeds are projected using standard calculations and demonstrating bandwidth use with a T1(1.5Mbps) as the standard.. Notice the faster OC speeds are ideal for voice, video, applications mirroring, disaster rocovery hotsite because the speeds of mirroring systems is relatively instantaneous. Using a private dark fiber MAN not only guarantees security of the system but the speed is only limited to the equipment at the end users site.
