<Bell Atlantic Tech> "If it's a T1, then it's B8ZS" <Me> "Then why can't I send all zeroes, but every other pattern works?" <Bell> "Hmm... lemme check...(pause)...try now" <Me> "Ok, it's working. Did you find an AMI segment?" <Bell> "I didn't change anything." Ticket closed, "No problem found". -C
It's also the source of grief when a telco provisions one segment of a T1 circuit without B8ZS. When this non-B8ZS segment sees too many zeros, ones will be injected in the stream, corrupting the data.
Of course, this NEVER happens anymore...right? ;-)
