Re: OOB

perhaps. but given a clean slate, would you:

1) live with more redundancy in the core and hope that you don't lose access to things downstream from a problem (or the problemchild itself) 2) think about a solution to provide OOB access via another infrastructure?

Presume you can figure the costs as well so loss of a node/set-of-nodes SLA-wise is more expensive than 1yr of oob access?

for those w/ OOB built on PSTN or other non-IP based fabrics, how much would it hurt if the PSTN went away? /bill
