Argues that by going from a dual-router POP design to a single redundant router configuration, I can reduce annual downtime costs by 93% (?) and reduce CAPEX and OPEX (seems logical).
Also mentions that the single redundant router can get closer to the ever-elusive 5-9's.
Anyone doing this in their network? Is there validity in the claims in this white paper? Anyone looked at the Alcatel product that apparently funded this paper?
I'd believe the numbers in this, what I don't believe yet though is that there are products available that true give the same level of redundancy that having two boxes does... Regards, Neil.
