Re: Understanding circuit

This means that the Local Access Carrier (LEC) is providing a
FixedEthernet 100Mb service between the customer and the ISP but they are
hard coding the transport gear at a sub-rate of 50Mb's expandable to 100Mb
when you have want to have them provide more services, typically this is
because the transport is SONET and they do not want to waste STS's on a
commit of 10Mb only, once you need or require more speed the LEC can
simple add another STS to the circuit and your running at 100Mb. 10Mb
commit indicates that the Carrier is charging you a commit fee of X for
upto 10Mb's anything after that typically be charged at Usage rates with $
per Mb over the 10Mb commit, and you will never be charged less than the
10Mb commit at x$ per Mb. Typically customer's pick a Commit with Usage
model because they do not really know what their bandwidth needs are,
however I always have problems with customers not controlling their QoS or
Policing and they end up bursting above their commit and get charge a
large deal of money for the Usage costs. If you know your network and you
have control of your network my suggestion would be to go with Fixed 10Mb
commit, and you control your network.. Most carriers do not charge for
egress traffic flow back to the customer, and only charge for ingress
traffic from the customer to the carrier networks. ;)
