I'm interested in some information on T1 muxes. Specifically I see the potential for having 3 T1 lines between points A and B. At site A I might have a PBX with 2 T1 interfaces to the mux and a packet processor with 2 T1 interfaces to the mux. Site B is the same. Now, it would be real easy to switch entire T1's, during the "day" my PBX might have access to 2 of the T1's and at night the packet processor might have them. This seems to be standard fare for T1 muxes and network management software. What I would like to have is more granuarity of sharing between the muxes, at least at the level of DDS circuits (56kbits); BUT, I don't want to deal with anything other than T1 interfaces to my PBX or packet processor. Effectively I might have during peak hour on my packet network 2.0 X T1 bandwidth point to point and "only" 1.00 x T1 bandwidth during idle hours, but say 1.33 x T1 during "normal" hours. Does anyone know of anyone know of something like this that is currently available. Please, no conceptual criticisms of having multiple layers of load balancing since this situation is a result of politics/geography. -- marty schoffstall schoff%rpics.csnet@csnet-relay ARPA schoff@rpics CSNET seismo!rpics!schoff UUCP martin_schoffstall@TROY.NY.USA.NA.EARTH.SOL UNIVERSENET RPI Computer Science Department Troy, NY 12180 (518) 271-2654
