Hi Venkat, In my experience the handoff depends largely on your carrier, the facilities in your building, and where you are in the world. I would start out by finding out what the facilities look like at your site and that will go a long way towards answering what your options are. A quick walk through the building's telco closet can tell you a lot. Some carriers do provide an onsite device that will terminate serial/optical lines and handoff as ethernet so that may be an option for you. If not, Vyatta only supports a T3 wan interface right now. We don't have support for an OC3 card yet.
But I think I just rephrased what you originally said. Did that answer the question? Cheers, Robert.
