[c-nsp] Hughes v iDirect

[Terry Rupeni (ITS-USP)]

Hi Felix,

I can't speak for Hughes as I've never had the experience of wuking with 
the gear but we are currently evaluating iDirect for our Distance 
Learning Network(USPNET) of which a heavy component is VOIP, Video 
Conferencing, Video Multicast streaming. Our setup is a typical 
hub/spoke topology covering 12 Pacific Countries. Now Compare to our 
current satellite platform we use, I really like iDirect for two reasons:

1.) QOS provisioning mechanisms (Simple Methodology and configuration, 
don't have to worry about Satellite TimeSlots correlation etc)
2.) iDirect Monitoring/System Visibility  (Gives us real time info of 
what is happening at the IP layer plus its correation to RF)

There are many more reasons i can name but these two I see as a trump 
card compared to other systems I've worked on.
