Stan Barber's Notes

ANS has a POP in Dallas connected via DS/3.

AS690 is dead.

AS1673 Baynetworks is now in production.

ANS Cisco 7000/7500 for concentrators

Currently, adding capacity

• More private interconnects
• More capacity (multiple DS/3s) (No OC-3 at this time)
• More capacity at the public NAPS

ANS loss is close to zero and lower than any of the major providers (according to Merit's "netnow" data).

Current Priorities

• Stability
• No non-congestion loss at all (to a stable destnation)
• No backbone congestion loss

Ongoing

• Good response on congested tail circuits
• integrated services (video conferencing and others)
• higher bandwidth solutions (multiple DS-3s will work through 1996, but need more in 1997)
