I guess today shows how important vendor diversity can be. :-)

Back to main discussion.... 


How do we choose the best transport? 


One question, how much people care about vendor diversity? I do and did care. I don't \
want to put all my eggs in one basket. Do you care? Thank you

Sure, but the equipment still does smaller channels. Going to 100G or 400G for just \
over 10G seems silly. 

If Equinix had reasonable cross connects, I'd just LAG 10Gs. The cost of a pair of \
Equinix cross connects isn't much less than the 10G wave. Thankfully I'm only in one \
datacenter with such a ridiculous model.

Mike have you looked at Packetlight? Long-haul is mostly jumping to 100 or even 400g \
coherent.

No cost affective 10x10G to 100G muxponder?

100G-capable switches cost too much. Equinix charges as much for a pair of cross \
connects as a 10G wave. Carriers aren't likely to be interested in using bidi optics \
or passive WDM to overcome the ridiculous cross connect charges. 

This all complicates how one chooses transport. There's no easy path forward.

I also look at hand-off locations (as long as it doesn't compromise the overall \
robustness of the design). 

Most providers will be able to hand-off in the BMMR of a carrier hotel and some will \
have the flexibility to hand-off in particular suites within the same building or \
other locations near where the cross-connects fees are lower. I've seen cross-connect \
fees between $50 up to $750 MRC so if you need multiple wavelengths (for capacity), \
the cross-connect fees are going to make a huge difference on the total MRC.

Thank you everyone incredible amounts of responses for my how to choose a transit \

How do you choose transport & backbone? 


Looking at key aspects like route information, diversity, aerial vs under ground \
fiber, age of fiber, outage history, length, but what else? 


I will get both transport and transit as two seperate blogs. 


I will also submit as a nanog paper for the meeting after next, or maybe next? I am \
probably too late by now. 


Thank you for all your help. I will add your names to the thank you line ;-)

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">
heh, cross connects are indeed a major issue. I have a need for &gt; 10G transport. \
My equipment supports 40G. The carriers aren't terribly interested in doing 40G \
transport (at least not at a reasonable price, one quote was over 4x a 10G). \
100G-capable switches  cost too much. Equinix charges as much for a pair of cross \
connects as a 10G wave. Carriers aren't likely to be interested in using bidi optics \
or passive WDM to overcome the ridiculous cross connect charges.<br> <br>
This all complicates how one chooses transport. There's no easy path forward.<br>

<br>
<div>I also look at hand-off locations (as long as it doesn't compromise the overall \
robustness of the design).</div> <br>
<div>Most providers will be able to hand-off in the BMMR of a carrier hotel and some \
will have the flexibility to hand-off in particular suites within the same building \
or other locations near where the cross-connects fees are lower. I've seen \
cross-connect  fees between $50 up to $750 MRC so if you need multiple wavelengths \
(for capacity), the cross-connect fees are going to make a huge difference on the \
total MRC.</div> <br>
