Ok, we are putting out a request for proposals to upgrade/redo our links between our buildings. We have 100 MB fiber between our locations dedicated to us, we are ramping up to gig. Right now I can ping a server or anything else around town with 1 ms delays and we never see packet loss. We are using an outside school consultant to help write the RFP. One thing he came up with caught my eye and I thought I would get the collectives opinion on it.
Understand that as a public school these RFP's are our bibles. What is in them is exactly what the vendor is held to, no more no less. So if it isn't right later on the vendor will just shrug and point to the RFP. I am not too keen on writing in an allowed 50 ms delay and .5% packet loss on dedicated fiber to my buildings. Especially when I have no issues like that at 100 MB. Thoughts gang? The maximum round trip delays / latency between any source/destination site shall be no greater than 50 milliseconds (ms). The acceptable tolerance range for jitter on the WAN will be no greater than 25ms and the packet loss will be less than 0.5%. The measurement of these metrics will be between the CPEs at the source and destination sites. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
