I get that. The LRN is out of an NPA-NXX assigned to a town off of the tandem I'm already connected to. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com - Original Message - From: "Erik" To:

Okay. I'll take that as my action item. On to the understanding... I don't understand how someone can aribrarily choose which tandem an LRN hangs off of. Why aren't they forced to keep an LRN attached to whatever tandem handles a given incumbent rate center? In my situation, 815-901 is in

You as the originating carrier need to either connect to Comcast's local tandem serving that DeKalb lrn or pay someone to get it there. I reach Comcast through inteliquent usually, that would be my suggestion but you have to do what makes sense to you.And on an earlier reference yeah if you

Mike You either need to connect to the other tandem or pay another carrier to get you there. It is the responsibility of the originating carrier to get the call to the terminating carriers switch. Depending on the call volume you should probably just route through your LD carrier On Aug 28,

Mike I think you are missing the bigger picture. The LRN is where the call goes thus it's where your transit fees will be. The phone number could be different or same lata but the LRN is what your switch is dialing On Tue, Aug 28, 2018, 9:30 PM Mike Hammett wrote: > It may very well be that

It may very well be that it's cheaper to dump calls off to a termination provider (or Inteliquent) instead of getting myself over to the other tandem. I just want to make sure that I have to build it (or sub it out to the previously mentioned) and not make my current tandem operator haul it.

I thought everyone connected to the ILEC-hosted tandem responsible for the rate centers where the number blocks were assigned, but that seems to not always be the case when there are multiple ILEC-hosted tandems in a LATA. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

I drew a picture, hoping it would clear things up a bit. Through my switch, we're trying to call a number in a block assigned to Sycamore, with an LRN in a DeKalb number block, but the common tandem operator is telling me that the LRN actually lives on a different tandem. - Mike

There's a lot going on here and I'm on a cellphone on vacation but you need _A_ way to reach the tandem. You don't need direct connectivity, and you don't need bidirectional connectivity. I've terminated calls to rural CenturyLink ilec via global crossing wholesale long distance because it was

Meaning if I thought were true? I had just assumed that Inteliquent did have the connections to every tandem in the LATAs they serve, given that (my thought) that you could only port numbers on the same tandem, so universal coverage would require connections to every tandem. We're actually

I thought you had to be on the same tandem to port a number, but with what our tandem operator (Frontier) is telling me, this isn't the case. Comcast ported a number from us in town A. The LRN they pointed to is based in town B (per TelcoData). The tandem generally used by carriers in both
