[c-nsp] OC-48 transport over Cisco 6500

[Mack McBride]

On the 6500 you can only do POS so if they want something else it isn't going to work.
If you are using the POS interface as an xconnect end-point it should do what you want.
TDM does not work over most MPLS without significant buffering in any case.

They'll notice..

Assuming they're doing TDM or something besides PoS over it, it won't look the same at all.. The PoS interfaces are STS-48c only..

Maybe if they're doing just PoS it might work, but who uses PoS on OC-48 anymore? Cheaper to do 10G...

Thanks for responding. I'm looking at something like this:

Will someone connecting to this for OC-48 transport between two
locations with MPLS encapsulation (xconnect) notice anything different
via a normal mux port? I think what you're saying is, "no". :)
