In all my experience with various small scale telephony projects, I
have never really assimilated the various switch types used in central
offices through the years.
Perhaps Larry Lippman ( @kitty ) or Bernard McKeever or other who has
had experience in this area could provide a summary of the various CO
switches, the dates of their prominance, and the common applications
they found themselves in (big cities, toll centers, etc).
For instance, most #2 ESS offices seem to serve a smaller number of
customers and operate more slowly than, say #1 ESS. Any insight into
these issues would be appreciated.
Thanx!
