Thus spake Chris Fairbanks
Well, UUnet does terminate T3s into the Cascades. One of our T3s happens to go to UUnet and it is into one of their Cascades at PAIX. It is currently only a fraction circuit. From talking with their installer, they only plug you directly into one of their routers if the circuit is 15mb or higher.
Well, that's a general guideline that they use...just turned up a 12mb circuit and its straight into a router...however, we've been customers of UU.Net for quite some time and they looked at our usage on our T1 circuits with them and realized that when we get a circuit, we *use* it, so they made the decision to put us directly on a router port in anticipation of us actually using the bandwidth. Incidentally, we're straight into the router port and still using f/r encap. I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind this, but apparently, the edict came down from on high that all new turn-ups would use frame-relay encap...even if straight into a router port. *shrug* -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm () iglou com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
