Re: webserver chg from T1 to dynamic PRI

What you might be trying to get at is an MPLS line. That is the most popular line I have run into. I used them for voice, web, and internet traffic. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching

I have used Quest, ATT, and XO for these lines. ATT and XO good service/price, Quest, well I won't be calling them for a quote anytime soon.

I would agree with Duane that you need to be very specific about your requirements and make sure the contract specifies exactly what you are getting. Also be sure to get QOS and call response times defined.

Jim;

What you want to do is get the specs on each product, the T1 and the "dynamic pri", your telco/sales person should be able to get those to you easily.

The name of a product is really meaningless in the telco world, it is the specs you care about. Make sure that you know what the upstream and downstream specs are, they may be different. Make sure that the specs are guaranteed to your door, you may have to change/rewire from the telco demarcation into your building/office to meet those specs.

Subject: [WEB400] webserver chg from T1 to dynamic PRI

A customer has a iSeries handling both local apps and webserver (RPGLE-CGI)
taking web orders. Trying to save money and the provider has proposed replacing their two T1 lines (one for phone, one for internet) with a single "dynamic pri".
I've googled the terms and it does sound like pri more for the telco system.

Anyone doing web serving across such a circuit?

There are maybe 10-15 simultaneous web users, and this is a moderate 520, currently performing very well. The web app does involve a lot of entered text info, not just a few clicks. I hesitant without some positive feedback from actual companies doing this.
