How did it
go? Had to be some war story
•Of course there
was,
•Overall had to be
VERY careful at midnight cutting pvcs
•Testing initially
didn’t work, took conf with Cisco product manager to resolve issues. Then fine.
Had incredible lab juryrig
of atm switch & routers in multiple bldgs
•NASA’s NISN was
first, easy because had spare fiber to GSFC, didn’t have to hotcut.
•Then Abilene was
easy, because MAX sells them lambda
transport to NGIX, just had change wdm
•USGS, NLM, and MAX
also easy hotcuts.
•But MCI’s DREN and
vBNS were nightmare.
