Converting a
national NAP from atm to gige isn’t
|
|
|
like changing
over your campus net at midnight.
|
|
|
Replacement lines
have to be arranged, peer
|
|
|
partners have to
coordinate ints, downtime has
|
|
|
to be minimal
because they’re paying for uptime
|
|
|
| • |
The biggest issue
was how to do the transition
|
|
|
without massive
flag-day changeover nightmare
|
|
|
| • |
With testing,
realized that the Cisco OSM blade
|
|
|
bridged-routing
would allow us to single-endedly
|
|
change over each
peer at midnight without any
|
|
|
of their
full-mesh of peers needing to be there.
