[Asterisk-Users] TDMoE implementation suggestions

[John Harragin]

I have a T400P in my main building M and am going to put asterisk boxes in
two buildings A & B. I already have our wan on fiber running between the
buildings (including some extra strands) and the distance is beyond straight
Ti distance so I would need csu... to use copper. It occurred to me that I
could use TDMoE - and it may be less costly. My assumption is that the best
to avoid the existing network due to the real time nature of TDMoE and
configure the machine like:

Put 3 nics in asterisk box M...

nic1 normal IP traffic
nic2 dedicated fiber-nic running TDMoE to dedicated fiber-nic at building A
nic3 dedicated fiber-nic running TDMoE to dedicated fiber-nic at building B

...both building machines A & B would each have their fiber-nic and another
for normal IP traffic. I'm hoping someone will be able to fill me in on the
considerations of using multiple nics, cpu loading of TDMoE vs. Zap T1s...

Another possibility is to have 2 regular nics in the main machine. One for
normal IP traffic, the second for both TDMoE T1s connected to a fiber switch
(I may have one of these at my disposal) connected to both buildings A & B.

Thanks for any insights, tips, suggestions...

John
