Hi,
I work in a large network where we have 60 sites linked up over a radio SDH network. We are thinking about buying a fixed line (dark fibre) between two of the key sites and bypassing the radio network. Layer 2 ethernet will be presented by the carrier at both ends of the network and then it will be up to us to connect it to our existing network. We run an OSPF network with around 5 or 6 areas in it. Voice will also have to be carried across this fixed line.
Is this a good idea and what possible issues could arise from this?
thanks
Kevin

Hi,
I don't see any issue with it. It should work just fine. Since you are going to be using fiber vs radio, the network should be a lot more stable specially since you are using it for voice too.
Good Luck
