I'd be interested in seeing the math there, since the bitrate of a T1 is fixed and specifically defined in the standard. The *raw* speed of a T1 is precisely 1536bps, or it's not a T1 (or it's broken). Subtract overhead of IP packets, and you're down to 1.3Mbps or so. And that's only if you're running HDLC or something; run frame relay or ATM as the LP and it sucks more out of it.
Just wondering what you're looking at here, since you've already gained respect from me as a fellow net admin based on other stuff I've seen you saying here...
