Physical
Interface Summary The customer's border router may be
co-located or remote. Its location makes no difference in the
physical interface requirements. The demarcation point is the
customer-facing port on the MAE network.
Element
Description
Physical port (fiber type)
GigE 1000 Base-SX (MMF)
GigE 1000 Base-LX (SMF)
Circuit encapsulation
IEEE 802.1Q
Important IPv6 is not supported for
interworked connections between a GigE port and either a Frame
or ATM port.
Logical Interface
Summary The customer uses PeerMaker provisioner to create, modify,
and delete peering
circuits. PeerMaker provides the connection identifier (VLAN ID) for each
connection endpoint port to the destination customer when both have
accepted the circuit parameters.
Peering Connection
Classes Priority: This connection class is
available only for connections between regional ports in the same
metropolitan area. The customer specifies committed bandwidth for a
connection; the Minimum Data
Rate is set to the committed rate. The Maximum Data Rate is set to
twice the committed rate. If the endpoint ports of a connection have
different rates, the slower port determines the rate limits of the
connection.
Best Effort: The
customer does not specify connection
bandwidth. The Minimum Data Rate is set to 42 Kbps,
and the Maximum Data Rate is set to the
maximum allowed for the port. If the endpoint ports of a connection
have different rates, the slower port determines the maximum EIR.
