When Does OC3 Bandwidth Make Sense As Your Business Network Backbone??
Several factors could come into play, including the need for that type of bandwidth, latency factors, and resiliency. If a client needs an extremely resilient connection with low latency, and high bandwidth, a protected SONET OC3 solution is the best choice, due to the nature of the architecture. If you have strict requirements in regard to latency and line quality OC3 could be a good choice as an alternative to ethernet services. With OC3 you can have complete end-2-end monitoring of bit errors, and it is also dedicated 100% for your usage. Ethernet services lack the full end-2-end monitoring capabillity, as frames could get dropped alog the way. The CPE equipment will cost you more for OC3, than for ethernet. The built in redundancy in SONET/SDH can provide sub 50ms switchover easily, but to harvest the full potential of redundancy you must offcourse have redunant fiber to your location. Conditions to consider 1) Data usage requirements 2) Redundancy is a feature, not a requirement.
