Argues that by going from a dual-router POP design to a
single redundant router configuration, I can reduce annual
downtime costs by 93% (?) and reduce CAPEX and OPEX (seems
logical).
Also mentions that the single redundant router can get
closer to the ever-elusive 5-9's.
Anyone doing this in their network? Is there validity in the
claims in this white paper? Anyone looked at the Alcatel
product that apparently funded this paper?
Pete.
