I know, was just referring to an example of a huge number of pipes on the same path.

They show each circuit on the map, not just generic lines. There are a few destinations, but there are 84x 10 gigabit circuits between Japan and the US. I think that's the trans-pacific crown. Some are 10GigE, some are OC-192. I know they terminate to different markets, but even at three major west coast markets, that's almost 30x 10G circuits per market. There's some LAG going on there, even with different A and Z locations and diverse routers within a market. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Faisal Imtiaz" < fai...@snappytelecom.net > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2015 8:09:18 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Anyone heard of GTT FYI, based on our experience.... at 100G Levels most IP Transit providers are @ very similar Monthly MRC. And yes, due to limitations of 100g ports on a line card and expensive optics, in many cases 10g LAG Groups are less expensive to implement.

When the market is used to minimal setup fees for ports though, the 100G stuff still stands out… the linecard(s) are one thing to recover but the price of the optics is still stupidly expensive too .. The biggest attraction for me has been in “higher traffic” networks when you run into limitations on how many members can be in a LAG … so you go from 10G LAG’s to 100G LAG’s ;) From: Af [ mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com ] On Behalf Of Faisal Imtiaz Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2015 3:58 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Anyone heard of GTT Hmmmm, considering a full 100g port of service would be priced at $35,000 to $45,000 / Month, it needs a $150,000 to $500,000 Router to handle, a one time charge of $30,000 to $100,000 is negotiable and rather an irrelevant figure in that picture :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net <blockquote> From: "Paul Stewart" < p...@paulstewart.org > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2015 2:09:24 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Anyone heard of GTT Well there is no question that 10G ports and LAG’s of 10G are more popular but the number of 100G ports being sold for IP Transit is definitely picking up quite noticeably J The biggest challenge that I have run across is pure economics – the cost of the ports makes it hard for them to sell them to customers at much discount. The quotes on 100G transit that I have seen typically have a $60k-$100k per port setup fee to try and recover a portion of costs up front. The attraction is higher in markets where x-connect monthly fees are quite high.
