all of these questions are valid.
The guys who will use it would love to have line rate on the 10G, for a =
single conversation, but that's not going to happen. So, there's a =
certain amount of expectation management.=20
For the purpose we're proposing, this would be an additional link to an =
existing office, a link for test/lab traffic specifically. We would run =
the lab management on the existing link (s) and provide some sort of =
restricted failover as well.
Sorry I'm not going into more detail, just trying to balance the need =
for some info versus ... you know.
This link wouldn't need to be 5 Nines, but with the office primary and =
backup, we can provide the connectivity almost 100% of the time.
Thanks for all the comments everyone, they have been helpful.
