Re: ISPAK: SOP STM-1 :Shared bandwidth thru ITI

[Ateeq.M.Khan]

Dear Jamal,   I refer to the point 2.1 Shared bandwidth through ITI:   Now to be fair with all, the shared bandwidth pricing,delivery mechanism has to be justified :   1. The sharing formula should be 1:2 i.e. 50%. One third is difficult to guage and also at times could be problematic..you know digital science is based on power of 2 hence odd numbers(3,5,7,9...is it odd or even i never remember correctly) gives uneasy feeling   2. Feature of atleast 50% (if not 100% ) burst should be there to compensate for the extra cost against clean pipe of that value. For example if I get 512 Kbps clean for USD 5.3 K and shared 2 MB with 1/3 formula comes out around 683 Kbps costs USD 7.2K then obviuosly it is of no value to have 2Mb shared if it is to be FIXED at that level without burst feature   3. Roughly shared 2 Mbps (USD 7.2 K) cost half of full pipe  of 2 Mb (USD 15K) hence as term level playing field implies that we should have a CIR of 50% of clean for this price. The extra benefit or risk is the burst of remaining 50%   4. I know some of the guys are coming from the top and pressurizing to stop shared bandwidth... so wisdom demands that in house consensus be built before we try out our muscles at PTCL levels    Expecting your reply asap.   Regards Ateeq   ----- Original Message ----- From: SBHUTTA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 7:59 AM Subject: ISPAK: SOP STM-1 Mr.Jamal Nasir Khan, All other members ISPAK.   AoA, Please find attached a proposed draft of SOP for STM-1 being adopted by PTCL  Kindly review it and send  your feed back ,  amendments or suggestions to modify it for final preparation within two days to Mr.Jamal Nasir Khan Chairman ,Technical Committee ISPAK .   Best regards, Sanaullah Bhutta,
