Re: T3 and Ds3
Although often used interchangably, and rightly so, technically DS-3 or Digital Signal-3 is different than T-3 or T-Carrier-3. A DS-3 channel is comprised of seven DS-2 channels, which is comprised of four DS-1s, which is 24 DS-0sso. DS-0 = 64K x24 = DS-1 = 1.536M (1.544M w/T-carrier overhead) x2 = DS-2 = 3.072M (3.152M w/T-carrier overhead) x7 = DS-3 = 43.008M (44.736M w/T-carrier overhead) There is also a DS-1C, which is two DS-1s, but this is rarely seen anymore. In fact, These values are dependant on the Mux hierarchy of telco's T-carrier Mux networks, the strict sense of this terminology being largely obsolete, depending on how new thier stuff is. Hense DS-3 and T-3 being used interchangably.

a T1 is a DS1 over copper. same with T3/DS3 other than that, no distinction. -hamlet On Wed, 27 Dec 2000, John Hardman wrote: > Hi > > Yep terminology, typically T1, T3 in the telco world imply the capabillity > to carry voice and/or data.

Re: T3 and Ds3
Well, most people use these terms interchangeably, but to be technical about it, DS framing is used for T carriers. So your T3 uses DS3 framing. - Original Message - From: "nsamuel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cisco Group Study" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2000 5:55 PM Subject: T3 and Ds3 > Is there a difference in a T3 and DS3, or is this just termilogy? > > Nigel > _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
