CLASSIFICATION OF TRAFFIC. 3.1 Telecommunications traffic exchanged between CLEC and ILEC will be classified as either Local Calls, Transit Traffic, Optional Calling Area Traffic, IntraLATA Toll Traffic, or InterLATA Toll Traffic. For purposes of this Appendix, calls to ISPs will be rated and routed according to these same classifications, depending on the physical location of the originating and terminating end users.
3.2 For purposes of this Appendix, the Parties agree that "Local Calls" and "Local ISP Calls" will be compensated at the same rates and rate structures, depending on the End Office or Tandem serving arrangement, so long as the originating end user of one Party and the terminating end user or ISP of the other Party are:
(a) both physically located in the same ILEC Local Exchange Area as defined by the ILEC Local (or "General") Exchange Tariff on file with the applicable state commission or regulatory agency; or
(b) both physically located within neighboring ILEC Local Exchange Areas, or within an ILEC exchange and an Independent LEC exchange, that share a common mandatory local calling area. This includes but is not limited to, mandatory Extended Area Service (EAS), mandatory Extended Local Calling Service (ELCS), or other types of mandatory expanded local calling scopes.
3.3 The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the classification of traffic under this Appendix, either Party is free to define its own "local" calling area(s) for purposes of its provision of telecommunications services to its end users.
3.4 When an End User originates a Local Call which terminates to an End User physically located in the same local exchange area and served on the other Party’s physical switch or, if operating in SBC-12STATE, through the other Party's Unbundled Network Element (UNE) switch port, the originating Party shall compensate the terminating Party for the transport and termination of Local Calls at the rate(s) provided in this Appendix and Appendix Pricing. In SNET, calls originated over UNEs are not subject to reciprocal compensation since the rates for unbundled local switching reflect and include the costs of call termination.
3.5 The Parties’ obligation to pay reciprocal compensation to each other shall commence on the date the Parties agree that the interconnection is complete (i.e., each Party has established its originating trunks as well as all ancillary traffic trunking such as Operator Services, 911 or Mass Calling trunks).
3.6 The compensation arrangements set forth ...
CLASSIFICATION OF TRAFFIC. 3.1 Telecommunications traffic exchanged between AT&T TEXAS and Carrier pursuant to this Agreement will be classified using the types identified in 2.2 and 2.3 above.
CLASSIFICATION OF TRAFFIC. 4.1. CLEC is responsible for all traffic that CLEC delivers to ILEC including but not limited to voice traffic, IP-Enabled Traffic, wireless traffic and toll traffic. CLEC shall not provision any of its services in a manner that permits the circumvention of applicable switched access charges by it or any third party. CLEC agrees to be responsible for and pay its portion of the Interconnection Facilities and any Access Charges associated with all toll traffic that CLEC terminates to ILEC. CLEC is the sole responsible Party with respect to all local traffic terminated by CLEC to its End User Customers.
4.2. Traffic originating from a device other than at the End User’s fixed service location at the End User’s principal service address located in ILEC’s Ipswich exchange (“Nomadic Traffic”) is prohibited under this Agreement. All Nomadic Traffic delivered by a Party shall be subject to access charges pursuant to ILEC’s tariffed switched access rates.
4.3. CLEC provides Telecommunications Services under this Agreement to End User Customers.
4.3.1. The Parties agree to implement the proper Signaling and Signaling Parameters for determining the correct classification of traffic pursuant to Section 6 (“Signaling”) of this Attachment. The delivery of traffic that has had Signaling or Signaling Parameters stripped, altered, modified, added, deleted, changed, and/or incorrectly assigned (“Misclassified Traffic”) is prohibited under this Agreement. Due to the technical nature of its origination, certain traffic that is not Misclassified Traffic may be properly transmitted without all the Signaling and Signaling Parameters pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Attachment.
4.3.2. If the percentage of total classified call traffic transmitted with Signaling and Signaling Parameters in a given month falls below 95%, the Party originating such traffic agrees to pay the terminating Party’s intrastate switched access rates for all Unclassified Traffic for the applicable month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a terminating Party determines that Misclassified Traffic has been delivered by the originating Party, Section 4.3.3 herein below, shall apply with respect to the delivery of such traffic.
4.3.3. If a terminating Party determines in good faith in any month that any traffic delivered by the originating Party is Misclassified Traffic, the Parties agree:
(1) The terminating Party will provide call detail records sufficient for the other Party to identify the traffic or other in...

CLASSIFICATION OF TRAFFIC. 6.1.1 Telecommunications traffic exchanged between AT&T 9-STATE and Sprint PCS pursuant to this Agreement will be classified as either Section 251(b)(5) Calls, IXC traffic, or InterMTA Traffic.
