It's called oversubscribing. 288 ISDN ports at a POP being fed with 3 DS1's into the WAN. They're selling "business" accounts with a CIR of 128K. We've run into it twice on WAN connections into supposed Tier-1's. It's sad when you have more connectivity into them than they have to the world (at least at your peering point).. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
