So here's the 64GB/s question:
If carriers are being paid to ensure physical separation between
circuits for the life of the circuit, why is it that they haven't
implemented change management systems (and I don't solely mean the
software) to ensure they they *can* (not even that they will) manage to
ensure such separation?
Simple math. The cost of the occasional SLA credit and/or circuit
regrooming when the customer discovers a non-diverse path where one
was specified is obviously much less than the cost of tracking,
maintaining ( and surely providing ) path diversity.
Surely large providers have spent a lot more time and money
developing processes and software that allow them to groom circuits
into the least number of physical paths possible. Or at least I
would, if I were paying for the facilities.
