Common use of ATM Backbone Network Clause in Contracts

ATM Backbone Network. The Splitrock ATM backbone network will be operational on or before December 31, 1997 and will be based on the Yurie LDR200/50 ATM switches or similar ATM switches. This network is based on ATM switches, supporting TCP/IP protocol for Prodigy Classic and Prodigy Internet services. Prodigy Classic transmission which requires SNA will be encapsulated as TCP/IP. Each dial access site will be upgraded with a LDR200, LDR50 or similar ATM switch. A backbone transmission facility based on ATM protocol will interconnect the dial access sites to Yorktown, New York. Since the Yurie ATM switches use standard ATM protocol, the interconnections can be a mixture of FT1, T1, T3 and OC-3 or publicly available switched ATM services. Effective July 1, 1997 but subject to the Transition Services Agreement, we shall also provide, maintain and manage sufficient bandwith connections to Yorktown, New York to support the Service Level Objectives in Section 6.2. The transmission facilities may be DS-3, OC-3 or other appropriate transmission services available at the time. The transmission facilities will be terminated by a LDR200 and Centillion C100 combination or equivalent provided by us at your Yorktown facility. The transmission facilities will be diversely routed and fully separated and connect to you via selected routers. The two Splitrock C100s will connect to existing Prodigy 6611 or equivalent routers, which support the Prodigy internal LAN at Yorktown. The Equipment we provide at Yorktown will be installed on your premises solely for our use in providing our Services. This Equipment is provided under the terms specified in the Section "Equipment We Provide." In addition, at locations selected by us agreed, we will provide interconnection of the network to the Internet via DS3 to suitable NAPS. This will provide bandwith between the NAP and Yorktown as well as between the NAP and the dial up user. We will have the sole right to select the choice of the NAP provider at each location. You will be responsible for complying with all protocol requirements for layer 3 and above as set forth by the NAP providers that we select.
