T1,T3 are transmission rates that descibe electrical interfaces. A T1 link is 1.5mb ( bits )
T3 = 45mb. OC ( optical carrier ) is a BellCore
description of transmission in SONET networks. ( Synchronous Optical Network ).
The speed of OC-n is derived from the number of interleaved STS streams. STS-1 is 51mb per second
All OC-n rates ( lowest is OC-3 which sts-1×3 ) are derived from a multiple of this.
OC-768 = 768xSTS1 rate = 39168mb per second
OC-48 = 48xSTS-1 rate = 2448mb per second
OC-3 = 3xSTS-1 rate = 153mb per second
OC-n rates can be described as concatenated ( a fat pipe ). or Channelized whereby an OC pipe contains multiple channels ( STS payloads )each
of which can contain different payloads ( packets or atm cells ).
Oc-3c is a concat. fat pipe.
Oc-3 is a channelized pipe.
crazy, there’s 20 terrabytes of shared files online on gnutella right now?!? unreal.
monday looks like it’ll be a big day for human genetics.
wow, genetic algorithms have developed a combustion engine that cuts nitric oxide emissions three-fold, soot emissions by 50% and fuel consumption by 15%. groovy. combine that with a Klat2-like beowulf cluster (whose network topology was fittingly enough also designed with genetic algorithms) and you’ve probably got something there.
whoa, one lucky fool will get a chance to buy the mach 5 on ebay. additional features: 18″ McCulla retractable pneumatic saw blades. U.S. Navy PX18 periscope. Airtronics remote control homing pigeon. Pneumatic auto jacks for jumping.
The buyer will agree to use the Mach 5 for personal use only. If the Mach 5 is purchased for business reasons, a license fee can be negotiated.
: “Adobe Illustrator 9 appears to be fully scriptable.” cool.
deja pulling it’s old usenet archives offline is more sad then anything.
i am a pogue.
definitive how to (dh2) on costume and prop building.
