I think the reasoning on adding a second harc isn't due so much to performance as it is to reliablility. Imagine the customer feedback if you had 8 T1's not running right due to a hardware failure on a single HiperArc. Two weeks after I got my second HiperArc, the first one died - needless to say I was glad for that second one... __________________________________ Justin Ellison System Administrator InternetUSA sysadmin@nebi.com http://nebi.com 800-603-3502 -----Original Message----- From: owner-usr-tc@lists.xmission.com [mailto:owner-usr-tc@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Cheryl Johnson Sent: Monday, January 31, 2000 9:00 AM To: usr-tc@lists.xmission.com Subject: (usr-tc) Max for DSP cards on TC I have a TC chassis currently running seven channelized T1s. I have read the maximum for 1 HARC is 10 DSP. Now, in the past we have tried running 10+ DSP cards with 1 HARC and the chassis did not perform as well as a chassis that not fully loaded. (This is from records, I wasn't actually working with the TC when this happened). Is there any issues I should know about before trying to run a TC chassis with 8+ DSP cards? -Cheryl Johnson SEI Data Network Services, Inc.
