T3 backbone stability

Wed Feb 12 23:18:11 UTC 1992

We are cutting over to use the T3 backbone now, and I am concerned 
by the several recent messages about ENSS and CNSS problems.

Could someone at Merit summarize some of the recent outages if
there have been trends, or could some of the other midlevels
provide us with some insight as to how (in)stability has 
affected your connections?

We are going with the emerging standard of send T3 stuff to the T3
and T1 stuff to the T1, explicitly importing T3 routes and defaulting
everything else to the T1.

thanks,
