Inter-CO signaling?

Thu Sep 10 19:09:45 UTC 1998

RBS is often run on B8ZS/ESF too.

The reason it is not commonly run on inter-office trunks is because of
a remarkable new innovation called SS7.  Perhaps you have heard of it.

Anyway, since the bits in robbed-bit signaling are "robbed" from the
superframe not from your DS0, it is irrelevant to your throughput.

   RBS is often times run on on AMI D4 circuits.  Also, RBS is generally
   not run on inter-office trunks.

   At least that was the case a few months ago when I worked on a DMS-500.
