Here's a few more details - We provision T1. Salesdroid asks "You wanna give us $$$ for clear channel?" Us: "..... ?" Salesdroid: "It's so you can get 64kbit rather than the normal 56k" Us: "We thought all DS-0s were 64kbit?" Me: "I know! I'll ask NANOG!" Here's a document that further obfuscates the matter for me - http://www.comtest.com/tutorials/t1.html Anybody care to comment on its relevance in this situation? If I read it correctly, Clear Channel = Less Capacity. Doesn't sound right. I believe the carrier in question is AT&T. thanks for any input you guys might have -carl owner-nanog-outgoing @merit.edu AT nxmime To: CARL P HIRSCH/Sargentlundy, nanog@merit.edu AT nxmime@SNL-ccmail 03/22/01 12:12 PM cc: Subject: Clear Channel on a T1 Can anybody give me some info on what exactly "Clear Channel" means in relation to a DS1 circut? My gut tells me that it's only relevant with voice Ts... thanks, -carl hirsch network analyst sargent & lundy llc
