Having said all that, I am not sure where that leaves us.That leaves us with the throughput of two DS3 links. It doesn't seem worth the effort given how short term a solution it is.
I am not sure I follow your arithmetic. The line rate on a DS-3 is 44.736 Mbps. You need to subtract several overheads from that: at least some DS-3 and some PPP overhead. How does that add up to half of the throughput of an OC-3c IP/ATM link? As long as I took this opportunity to inquire, what to you mean by "given how short term a solution it is?" -tjs
