Sometimes it can give a hint. However, if the ISPs are following the
=B3interface name=B2 convention, you=B9ll get something like P3-1-2, which just
tells you its Packet Over SONET. That can mean anything from OC-3 to OC-192=
.
=B3ge=B2 could mean 10 gige :)
The "2488M" from glbx is nice, but not too common.
It would be so nice if this were standardized between all providers. But
naming conventions are really political - they sometimes provoke huge fight=
s
even within providers.
