This would certainly be a factor in planning what kind of wide-area connectivity to use to join two groups of switches. A single 400Mb/s aggregate might perform much better than a pair of 200Mb/s aggregates.Better performance, but worse reliability? The single 400Mb/s is, after all, a single point of failure, no? d/
To true. Would you care to cover the cost of replicating the 400Mbp/s to build in better reliability? It appears that the owners/operators of MAE-West are selecting an optimization path based on the assumption that outages are infrequent and can be quickly corrected. --bill
