T1's whether Point to point, FR or ATM IMA are duplex links with separate send and receive loops.* Each and both are capable of 1.536 traffic and can do so simultaneously. If these circuits didn't need to do so simultaneously only one loop would be required.
*HDSL2 T1 loops do not have two loops, but are duplex never the less. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Richard E. Brown Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 2:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Information capacity of a T1? Folks: There's a controversy about the amount of traffic that a T1 circuit can carry. Obviously, it can send, or receive, 1.544 Mbps per second. But can it send *and* receive 1.5 Mbps simultaneously? Or does the total data carried (send plus receive) max out at 1.5 Mbps? I've heard people who ought to know give both answers. So I'll open the question to the world's experts and ask this list. There's a T-shirt for the best answer. Extra credit will be given for a tutorial (or links to tutorial information) about how this stuff works. Thanks!
