Does it scale well? Will you ask for the feeling of your operators facing these PVCs?
Don't get me wrong. I am speaking at the IP QOS & MPLS Summit in London next month. I think we are getting close, but right now if you are building a voice/data network I think you are much better off with ATM. I may be using ATM in my core, but some think the odd part is that I am using IP at the edge. I use Covad, North Point, New Edge, etc for the last mile. Right now most of them can not deliver 2 PVCs to the subscriber. We have been forced to build a network where we can support voice and data over a single PVC. So far we have been able to make voice work at the same time we are downloading large files and still maintain a MOS of 3.82 - 4.01.
