This PMA system has been installed in December 2000 at the OC3c PoS link connecting the Advanced Network & Services premises in Armonk, NY, to their ISP and the Internet2/Abilene network. The PoS link is configured to a multiplexed Cisco HDLC encapsulation. The configuration deployed at the local router is:
interface POSx/y/0.N point-to-point ... frame-relay interface-dlci N IETFFor privacy reasons, the captured trace is filtered to only contain traffic on the Abilene sublink. ANS is connected directly to the Abilene NYCM (New York City, Manhattan) router node.
This PMA monitor is equipped with a Praecis Ct CDMA Network Time Source, allowing the monitor to syncronize to UTC to within ~10 microseconds.
