What is up with the DACS vendors. There seems to continuing problems when telco's upgrade the software on their DACS equipment. Since telcos have created a design with DACS as a single point of failure, these outages have a big impact on non-switched services such as data lines.

Sounds like DACS vendors are hiring programmers from router vendors. :)

And transport network "architect"/designers still believe the "fully redundant hardware" is enough to prevent network outages... despite the increasingly large amount of software (written by router guys :-) on their "transport" equipment. dave
