OK I see - from a CLEC perspective - is it a legal requirement to do so? I've read some of this tonight: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/How+to+start+a+Clec and although it's mentioned a bit I'm not clear on if it's a legal requirement of a CLEC (or just implied because in 1996 that's just the way it was)
ITSP vs CLEC redundancy sounds like it's quite different then - if you must have SS7 links.
No, not sure how you got this idea, you think every mid-sized ISP in the '90s had connections to the service control points? For a CLEC to get a lot of the O/T benefits SS7 interconnection would be desirable, but not required.
That's true. I was assuming we were talking about telephony here strictly. There are a few uses ISPs have for CLEC licenses that have nothing to do with phone. One is rights-of-way for network build-out, pole attachment, etc. Another is getting UNE rates on leased circuits instead of wholesale access rates. That still required interconnection and/or CO colocation for aggregation, but not SS7.
Along those lines - I'm reading up on BW and geographical HA...http://www.broadsoft.com/products/broadworks/platform/#network-geographic -- anyone out there actually who has actually implemented it - if so what's your experiences if you can share on list?
Sounds like linux-HA style workings to me, but I have no exposure to broadsoft products.
Yep. All these devices pretty much work on the same principle, although even the Linux-based ones have proprietary failover technologies and don't use Linux-HA. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671
