Good Evening all. I got an odd and somewhat crazy request from our development group for a long haul OC48 connection for testing (they specifically said from their office in Utah to the east coast and back) with minimal jitter. They need to be able to run their own framing Sonet and WDM - don't ask me why, it doesn't make sense to me. It would seem to me that the last requirement would require a dark fiber? So I've got several questions. One, is there any provider that would provide us such a beast for only one month? I realize that the fact this is long haul OC48 would make the cost astronomically high, and then throwing on the one month would make it even more expensive.... Two, is there any good way to simulate such a long distance link? I know such equipment exists for smaller links, but I haven't yet found anything that'll do OC48 fiber. I'm sure the cost would be high for the equipment, however I'm betting it is *much* lower than the long distance link. Three, could we sanely encapsulate their framing into GRE (or some other such technology) and send it over an IP link and get SLAs to minimize the jitter? Offlist responses would be greatly appreciated.
