Is anyone aware of any carriers that are using CES as a transport method as private line and aren't necessarily selling it as such? (ie, I've ordered a DS-3 from point A to point B, and instead of the carrier dropping it as standard TDM it's CES through their network...)
What you are speaking of is most likely what juniper calls CCC. L2 transport over their network. Not too dificult to set up but as usual the complications come in the realm of redundancy and network reconvergence. I'd pay close attention to the SLA offered, but it is probally similar to what is seen in a TDM network if they employ mpls fast reroute .. and if you're doing IP over this circuit, you will probally be less likely to notice any problems. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
