809.0. "Help! Product Manager" by 23415::HUMPHREYTAN () Fri Jan 24 1997 03:42

    Hi,
    
    A customer has two campus. They have a clear E1 channel between the two
    campus. Now they want to establish their campus netwok with ATM. Our
    competetor use two router interconnect the two campus network through
    the E1 channel. In our proposal I recommend connect two GIGAswitch/atm
    with its E1 PMD directly. The customer interested in it.
    
    Now the customer will sign the contract with us. But till now I am
    still not sure if I can do so! I need a confirmation.
    
    I have sent a note in No.801 but no one give me any answer. I want to
    send mail to the Product Manager but I don't know his name and mail
    address. I need your warm hand!
    
    Thanks in advance,

809.1Use caution with LANE over T1 or E1NPSS::WATERSI need an egg-laying woolmilkpig.Fri Jan 24 1997 08:506
  Where are the routers in your proposal?  I'm not fond of running LANE
  over a E1 or T1 link.  Those links are dangerously slow for handling
  LAN broadcast packets.  Sorry to say that, but when you want to emulate
  a LAN, it doesn't work too well through satellite links, ISDN, even
  T1 or E1.  OC3 would work fine.  The broadcast/multicast packets are
  my only concern; LANE over E1 may be OK except for that.
