The speed thing is debatable, some people wants it, someone does not, and someone are willing to pay me $50/mont to make DNS say OC3c on their DS0.
SL-POP-ROUTER is kindof Sprint specific, others have other ideas on how to name routers, how about this;
router-slot#-port#[-port#][-ts#-#][-dlci#].europa.net
Not too good either - 1) we are getting dangerously close to the 64-byte limit for DNS labels (we can use [dlci#.][ts#-#.][port#.][port#.][slot#.]router.europa.net though); 2) those with $50/mo might get really paranoid and request that the card/port/slot info wouldn't be there at all, as it betrays that they are not exactly on an OC3c link by the fact that there are too many others on the same card.
Nope, my routers have another naming convention, bathroom is for example, r29a..
Just keep it this way and let NOC people use other tools to figure out what it really means.
