[AusNOG] FYI: Telstra carrier interconnects are full

[Sean Agius]

It’s not SIP channel issue unfortunately. Rob is on the money.

I am led to believe that line orders are being provisioned with urgency to increase capacity, so definitely not a BW or SIP issue per-se.

All congestion is stemming from the COVID-19 Hotline and affecting multiple Tier 1 providers nationally at present.

it sounds to me more like a finite number of SIP channels, rather than bandwidth.

could quite easily be a licenced capacity on an SBC type deal

I don't doubt that you're right Rob, but help me out here. Surely
voice traffic is such a tiny drop in the networking-traffic bucket
that any sort of increase is still largely insignificant.

Are you saying that voice interconnects are big, fat, pipes and that
ramping them up is a big deal?

If so, I'm a little surprised (as well as depressed about the lack of
forethought).


Mark.
