I'm bored... Post your WAN setups

[Buddha Bart]

2 offices, 50, I don't care lets see 'em. I've been knee deep in frame relay, ospf and bgp for the last few weeks in my lab class, so I'd be real curious to see some real world setups.

Stuff like,
how many locations
how far apart
how many people at each
how they're connected
what kind of traffic mostly
what routers
what routing protocol(s)

tricky stuff you're proud of
legacy stuff your disgusted with
oddball stuff due to circumstance

I worked for an ISP with customers up and down both coasts on ISDN, frame relay, SDSL, dedicated dialup, T1, T3, and an OC3. A few doing BGP with us but mostly static IPs. Doesn't really count, since it's not MY setup.

Oh yeah, forgot about the Ethernet over ATM customer. He was a whore of a customer. Had two 100Mbps fibre Ethernet links connected to our ATM cable network, and he definitely made use of the bandwidth. If one went down, the entire point of having a backup, he'd be on the phone with us within minutes acting like we were just sitting there giggling about it being down. Wouldn't even accept the explanation that a damn Cisco 12000 series router had CRASHED and that was why he was down, and it was a known bug that Cisco hadn't fixed yet.

I can tell you that what Cisco teaches you and the real world can be a gulf apart.

Most of the time customers just want networking on the "cheap".

ISP/CLEC server room where I work Its not huge by any means but it still has some cool stuff to play with. Not near as large as I would like to play with but I'll take what I can get

The domestic WAN is still growing - 65 sites using frame-relay speeds from 192k to 1500k. Cisco 2620, 3660, 6509 and 7200 routers run this.
Glogal WAN is another 35 sites using pix firewall based VPN, most all major cities have offices...sydney, tapai, hongkong, london, berlin, etc.

Most of the traffic is E-mail, intranet apps and SAP. Routing protocol is OSPF.

Cisco 3660 supports vendor connections. Two DS3s to the internet, routing protocol is BGP.

Legacy stuff is IPX protocol, god how I want to get rid of it.

Operating systems are primarily SUN ranging from 250s to E6000s with windows XP on the client. File and print services are win2k.

Everything is redundant, well almost everything.
