Get a 100Mb FDDI or Ethernet connection between the two colocated routers.
Then bring in multiple Fast packet services into your router which then aggregates out the LAN port.
This breaks down when the connection speed goes from DS-3 to OC-3.
I understand this (I think :), but I've a theoretical question. Assuming the following: T1 T1 T1 T1 ... | | | | | R R R R R [R = router] | | | | | +-------+-------+-------+-------+ | Etherswitch | +---------------+---------------+ |(A) [A = 10Mb Ethernet] +---------------+---------------+ | Cisco 4500 | +---------------+---------------+ | T3 Just how many T1->Router->Etherswitch connections can be run through point A (a single 10Mb ethernet) before things become unbearable (real world here, I think I can do the math :-)? Should I look at a 100Mb ethernet port on the 4500 instead of the dual 10M ethernet option? I'm working on a project for a small NAP, and this concerns me. I'd rather not do something stupid with the money ;). rus Russ Pagenkopf (406) 542-0838 Internet Services Montana (ism.net) Hardware and Business Manager Connecting the World to Montana All questions can be answered thus.
