Re: "Is TDM going the way of dial-up?"

Rick Ernst expunged (nanog@shreddedmail.com):

I'm wondering if others are seeing the same behavior, if it's market-dependant, or if I'm just imagining things. I'm working on building new infrastructure and my current thoughts are to minimize my TDM footprint. It would be useful to get a better feel if this is an overall trend or something local.

You aren't imagining things. In fact, some large national networks have been designed to support solely ethernet. It comes down to cost, as always.... -Steve
