Frame Relay POP site: 60 Miles away -
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 7.643/7.671/7.712 ms
Frame Relay Internet Port connection from provider: 85 miles away -
and it is crossing through a INI...
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 8.196/8.652/8.847 ms
Both of these virtual connections are on one physical interface.
We are running a full newsfeed, several commercial accounts (one at 512K
and 2 at 256K) and our dialup pool (50 lines expanding next week to 75
lines) through a FR T-1 link and we have not saturated the link yet
(although we are getting close - looks like a second link in the near
future <grin> ).
