Wow, OC-768 is one heck of a backbone. 40Gbit/sec is great. It should be enough to support a lot of users.  |

1 edit | Nah they already built a separate backbone for that with 4 redundant OC-768 links. |

Funny to see this story immediately after the last one where telcos are getting bashed for not upgrading their networks.

@mindspring.com | 40 Gbps is not enough. If they're spending this kind of money anyway, they should invest in upgrading further. Bandwidth usage is going to skyrocket in the next few years. Spending a little more now would be smarter. |

Re: funny
I was thinking the same. 40 Gbps could be used up real quick with a bunch of HD channels. |

Dublin, CA | OC-768 is the top end of current technology right now, but on the other hand a typical MPLS switch might have hundreds of OC-768 ports (usually 4 per line card), so that is a alot of available bandwidth. |

Columbia, MD | No capacity problems afterwards....
ONE DS3 = 44.375 MBPS
ONE OC-192= 192 DS3s
One OC-768 = 4 OC-192s.
After that is upgraded, I don't think they will have capacity problem anytime soon. |

| It may look that way now, but remember, this is only for their backbone. AT&T's whole reason for even upgrading their network was to offer video, not solely Inet data.
If you have an expected backbone usage of mainly Inet and VPN services (plus POTS calls), that's one thing. Throwing video into the mix adds a whole new dynamic to the sustained rate of data being transmitted.

|  More Bandwidth
You can never have enough bandwidth . Now what would be cool is if I could have that installed in my apartment. I could download a DVD (or pr0n) is less that a second.

Re: funny
Thats not true. New DWDM allows up to around 120gbps. Check out the SAFE pipeline. In a few years africas new ipv6 infastructure will make us look like the redneck retards we have running the country. |

| I guess I should have said manufacturable. I started working on OC-768 switches in 2000. It has taken 5-6 years for it to get to the point that you could sell a switch with the technology (i.e not a one off prototype). I suspect it will take just as long for OC-1536 or what-ever they call it to reach a mass producible state too. |

That's great for the Backbone, but Copper to the Home is not going to cut it. If AT&T does not commit to FTTH, they will fail. |
