Well, unfortunately, the local PUC owns the fibre, and they have a switch aggregating all of their fibre in a star pattern. They then trunk the VLANs to me across two redundant pair. I'm in the process of persuading them to allow me to put my own gear in their location so I can manage it myself (no risk of port-monitor, no risk of their ops fscking up my clients etc). This way, they connect from their client-facing converter into whatever port in my switch I tell them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this exactly the type of situation that BFD was designed to detect and help with? Jack
