Physical diversity in a meshed Frame Relay network

Sat Oct 27 15:29:13 UTC 2001

I'm in the process of spec'ing out a meshed Frame Relay network and would
like to have as much physical diversity in the mesh as possible.  The plan
is to have 2 or more FR lines into each location, running in separate
bundles, preferably in separate conduits and thru separate paths back to
the CO, and then have each FR line terminated on a different switch.

I'd love suggestions on how to actually achieve this.  Are there any
special terms to use to specify this?  Is there any way to determine if we
are actually *getting* it, if it's so specified?

Thanks!

(please don't wander off into discussions of "why FR?" as this has already
been decided)
