We use these types of circuits and I manage several others for clients.
Every time I turn one up I make sure I talk to an engineer and ask if they
are expecting a 2.5Gig signal and just going to use transponders to put my
1310nm signal into a DWDM color send it to the other side, and transponder
it back to 1310nm.  They've always said that's exactly what they are doing.

I used Cerent 15454 (now Cisco) w/ Oc48 IR 1310 cards facing the wave, and
proper cross connect and Gig cards (carefull here) facing my gig switches.
Shoot me an off list message and I'll help you w/ the ins and outs and share
the costs we budget for such.
I haven't used MRV but they look appealing, would love to hear other folks
experience with them as I'm about to have to turn another two of these up...

Anyone here with any experience with Jilong fusion splicers ?  Our old
Fujikura has died and I have to at least consider the Jilong.





Anyone seeing Level3 issues in Dallas ?

2007-07-19 Thread W. Kevin Hunt


All my traces die one hop into Broadwing/L3 Dallas.
After noticing it, I killed my peer w/ them, and still had issues 
getting to anyone I know prefers L3 for peering.

I turned it back up when I saw some L3 destinations working via TW

10 mins later, I noticed my paths to yahoo took me through teleglobe.

In the first 10 mins of the issue, traces to www.yahoo.com

Yeah, this morning Broadwing/L3 had yet another failure, and it took them
hours to figure out what the hell was wrong.

panther reports issues between L3 and e.g. Savvis, GBLX, PCCW and
others in the LAX/SFO area (we're having performance issues with some
of their CDN nodes in those areas right now). Possibly more widespread
than just California ...

[NANOG] Looking for Yahoo-SOC contact

2008-05-09 Thread W. Kevin Hunt
If anyone cluefull at Yahoo SOC regarding BGP peering on the West Coast 
is out there I'd appreciate an email.  Normal escalation of a latency 
issue between you and one of your peers used for return traffic to my 
network simply isn't working.
