Does anyone actually believe that an ISP could know that they've got an OC48 down, but not which one it was? Simon It probably has more to do with not knowing the locality of the failure. Knowing you have a circuit down, and knowing why and the location of the failure are two very different things. Given that I spoke to them within ten minutes of failure, that is hardly enough time to mobilize splice teams, recall people from dinner breaks, etc. It is a no brainer that they dont have alot of information. j.

Re: Colocation facilities in britian
Things tend to cost, in quantity, as many British pounds as they do US dollars. The difference from our perspective is the exchange ratio. Prices that are near 2x the cost in the states is probably comparable. At 1.5x it is probably a bargain, all things being equal. j.

Re: HSRP availability in datacenters?
I use 4948 series. I pay $8400 for 4948-e and $6500 for 4948-s (non-10GE models). The price delta isnt so great from the 3560G series. At the end of the day, it is a cat4500 in a 1u chassis. Are these out of your budget? j. Randal Kohutek wrote: I agree, 6500s or 4500s for distribution are where it's at ... Unfortunately they cost a lot. Which is why the suits are considering financing them by charging for the features they provide.
Re: HSRP availability in datacenters?
On routers, you have your choice as of 12.2 (I believe). On the small 3550/3560 type MLS products only HSRP is offered. The 4948, being a cat4500 with a modern sup, offers both. Of course the new animal in town is GLBP which offers load sharing. j. Donald Stahl wrote: No, in fact those are very interesting as they're a stop-gap between 3750s and 4500s at a good price per port. Are there any HSRP limitations on them? Guess I need to do some more research, as those are pretty hot. Hasn't Cisco said for years that HSRP should not be used in new deployments and that VRRP should be used instead? Just curious. -Don
