Chuck,
Thanks for the input. I agree with your logic. But part of the problem is
that these are International circuits going from one country to another. And
believe it or not, most of the time it's much cheaper to bundle several E1s
or T1s together instead of getting a fractional T3 or E3 internationally (I
know, I work for WorldCom).

Evan, at some point you might want to look beyond single circuits. An
alternative might be to aggregate your bandwidth by having your carrier
terminate it as ATM, and populate your routers with IMA cards to give you
bandwidth. Fractional DS3 should be a lot less expensive and gives you a lot
more room to grow. As you have now discovered, adding T-1s to solve
bandwidth problems has its limits. The fact that you have 12 point to points
between two sites tells me 1) that it's past time to look at this with fresh
eyes, 2) your company must have too much money, and 3) your telco really
loves you :->
OSPF is 4 equal cost paths. EIRP is 6, and the paths can be of unequal cost.
Where are you located? Contact me off line.
Chuck
