Re: multiple Individual T1 termination --urgent [7:47944]

Having worked too many years in the financial sector, I can say with
assurance that far too many of these types come to you with the solution,
and all they want is for you to do it. Far too few of them understand the
idea of presenting a problem, and asking those whom they perceive as their
subordinates to provide a solution.

One hope that one can establish rapport, and work with someone who has ears
as well as a mouth. But more often than not you end up just saying "yes sir"
and proposing whatever idiot solution the customer tells you he wants.

I'm not saying that there aren't good reasons to go with Cisco over somebody
else.

I'm just saying that you should know what those reasons are.  Always
choosing Cisco as a knee-jerk reaction to solve any problem is not a good

Re: multiple Individual T1 termination --urgent [7:47944]

2002-07-04 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

Sometimes you have to ask yourself (unfortunately, your top 
management rarely does) if a certain client's business is worth it. I 
don't necessarily mean the hassle factor in implementing, but if they 
are not forthcoming on information, and are too secretive, you may be 
doomed to have a dissatisfied customer.

Perhaps this story, presumably from a different industry, might help 
you with them. In the early 1960's, the CIA was building its 
headquarters, under the general management of the government-wide 
construction management agency. Obviously, at some stage of the 
construction, the heating and air conditioning had to be designed, 
and the subcontractor asked the necessary question, "how many people 
will be in the building ( to know how much body heat would load the 
air conditioners)?

CIA:  "We can't tell you."

Contractor:  *sigh*  Installed on best estimate. Heating OK, A/C didn't work.

CIA:  "We won't pay you until you fix it."

Contractor: "We'll put thermostats in every office so we can fine 
tune."  That made it worse, because people constantly adjusted them 
and the system couldn't stabilize.  The contractor then put all the 
thermostats into locked boxes, had a technician adjust them and lock 
them, and things worked briefly.

Unfortunately, no one had thought of certain customer skills. There 
is, in CIA Junior Officer Training, a course called "Locks and 
Flaps."  The significance of this was that if an office didn't have 
an occupant who knew how to pick locks, someone just down the hall 
did. Every thermostat went crazy.

At this point, the contractor sued.  After explaining why they 
couldn't properly size the system because the CIA wouldn't tell them 
the load, the judged asked the CIA "is this true?"  When he heard the 
sheepish admission "yes," he slammed down the gavel and told the CIA 
"pay them. Case closed."

Anyway, I can believe a financial industry client does have this much 
bandwidth, for reasons of experience.  The same principle holds as if 
they were T1s, however:  get the carrier/telco to multiplex them into 
higher-speed aggregates that you can feed to a router, multiplexer, 
or switch.  Even if they have 188 DS-3's, this still should groom 
into some number of OC-48's or OC-192's.  (slight plug) I've 
discussed this at length in my "WAN Survival Guide" (Wiley).

One major consideration will be the line utilization.  Sometimes, 
clients such as this want the low delay of very high speed lines, but 
don't actually put that much data on them.  In those cases, you can 
get away with a high-speed router interface but not overload it with 
forwarding. Measurements are essential before you do this.

You will also want to have direct engineering access to the 
carrier(s) they use, to discuss grooming and redundancy strategy, and 
how the carriers will support physical diversity.

Another thing that worries me is that you describe this as a hub and 
spoke.  With this much data, don't they have at least one hot standby 
location?  If they, for example, don't have at least two 
geographically dispersed sites on a SONET ring or a more modern 
equivalent, they are insane...although you may already have concluded 
that.  Even at the individual sites, there should be physically 
diverse local loops.  Given the availability of metro Ethernet and 
10G Ethernet, this isn't an overwhelmingly difficult thing to do, or 
you might just do drop-and-repeat WDM.  The data centers, of course, 
would have to be cross-connected to stay synchronized; that's why I 
say drop-and-repeat rather than add-and-drop.

In fact we had to bid for re-structuring the client's existing network
equipment. The client continually insisted that they are having is

and even the client couldn't reveal the type of current routers used.

I had to forward some of the emails received from you'all to the client to
convince them thay should be having T3's. Unfortuately the network was

In fact, this is first time I came across a requirement of 188 T1's to

I would advise your client to have the telco mux the T1s into Channelized
DS3s.  If for some reason that isn't possible do it yourself with a cisco
ONS 15454 or the new 15600.  Once you have Channelized ds3s your in better
shape.  You may be able to get away with a 7500 series full of CT3 cards,
but more than likely you'll want to get a ESR 10,000 due to router packet
pet second performance issues.  Those can do 6 CT3s per slot, so around 1000
t1s on the box and work quite well I think.

Re: multiple Individual T1 termination --urgent [7:47944]

2002-07-03 Thread Brian Lodwick

I couldn't imagine someone purchasing that many seperate lines from a 
carrier. If you have 188 T-1s coming into the customer premise I believe the 
piece of equipment you are looking for is called a multiplexer.
If you are saying they need @ 300M bandwidth I would have to say your best 
bet would be to purchase 2 OC-3 circuits. In that case I reccomend the 
GSR12000 series routers. (We just built out a superhub of a huge VPN using 2 
of those things to terminate the OCs and those things are working like a 
champ. We are planning to upgrade to OC-12 in the near future so using 
anything else was kindof out of the picture for us except for a Juniper and 
who wants one of those things in their data center -just kidding) If the 
12000 is way too pricey, and you would never need to go to that large of a 
circuit a 7500 should serve your purpose by using ATM OC-3 cards on the 
front and FastEs on the back.
  Heck why don't you just go down to your local MicroCenter and pick up one 
of those 12008s with a couple of GigE cards in it, and call up one of our 
sales people and say you want GigE IDE to your site. We are very soon 
planning to offer Ethernet to the CPE. Cool idea I think.

I'm really puzzled what problem they are trying to solve.  Certainly, 
the carrier providing the local loop has these DS1's multiplexed onto 
faster internal faciliies (e.g., 28 per DS-3, 84 or so on an OC-3, 
168 or so on an OC-12).

I've had a situation where I had numbers approaching these, and 
indeed a fair number were not conventional data but POTS, 
videoconferencing, bulk crypto, etc.  The answer was to put a fully 
redundant Stratacom switch in front of the routers, PBX, etc., and 
have (in my case) two redundant OC-3's coming into the switch.

Since there are now CBR cards for some routers, the switch might no 
longer be necessary. The question still comes up is whether the 188 
DS-1s truly need separate interfaces at the hub, and why.

This sort of port density is going to eat you alive if it's a real 
requirement.  If I had to do it, though, I'd certainly try for a 
hierarchy of routers -- 7500's or better taking high speed trunks, 
and connecting via Fast Ethernet to 3600's or such with lots of T1 
interfaces.

OK...I've GOT to hear the story behind this.  Why on earth would someone 
implement 188 T1 connections instead of multiple DS3 / HSSI ports, a couple 
OC3s or one OC12?

RE: multiple Individual T1 termination --urgent [7:47944]

2002-07-03 Thread Roberts, Larry

Well, I'm going to speculate for this company.

Now why do they want to stay with Cisco? Mostly support I would imagine. If
you have a completely Cisco shop, you are sometimes
Willing to put up with extra cost/less functionality to stay one vendor.
Then your employees only have 1 product to learn to configure. We don't know
the skill/staffing level of this place, but I imagine that is the main
driving point with staying Cisco

If I was doing it, I would look at an OC circuit. When your talking about
that many T's, the cost would have to be less and think of the reliability
factor. I mean your still talking a bunch of DS-3's for 188T's ( 7 if my
math is correct ).
A single OC-12 would handle this pretty easily with plenty of room to
spare...

Just my $.02 though...

Thanks

Larry

My question is - why does it have to be Cisco?  If you want edge density,
Cisco doesn't have the best solution.  Try a Juniper/Unisphere ERX1440.

hey, if they can afford that many T1's, instead of going to DS3 or frame DS3
( with all the failover protection that could be built in ) then they sure
can afford to pay for Cisco's lack of port density. :->

the only reason I lead with Cisco is that I'm just a Cisco jock. When your

density will be a problem. 7206's with the PA-MC-8T1 cards - that will give
you 64xT1 per box. you do the math.

Hi Group,

I have a client who needs 188 T1 (all 1.544Mb serial lines) terminations
to be done on the central site.
Network is hub and spoke fashion.
Pls advise the suitable Cisco router/routers on the central site, for
this purpose.

Thanks.
