They would always use an Alcatel box as the NTU currently, agreed there is some level of madness but it's the way they do things I believe for monitoring (?!). They moved to Alcatel a few years back and had some fun with learning how to commission, this was after 3-4 years of Lightning Edge. For MIA if they use BGP multihop they often put an ME3[4|6|8]00 switch in the way as well as the Alcatel, for lesser bandwidth's it's Alcatel + generally Cisco 2900 ish Cheers Chris website: www.knowledgeit.co.uk | blog: www.knowledgeit.co.uk/blog | twitter: @KnowledgeITUK Knowledge Limited, Company Registration: 1554385 Registered Office: New Century House, Crowther Road, Washington, Tyne & Wear.
