One-Way Interconnection Trunks 2.3.1 Where the Parties use One-Way Interconnection Trunks for the delivery of traffic from Onvoy to Frontier, Onvoy, at Onvoy’s own expense, shall: 2.3.1.1 provide its own facilities for delivery of the traffic to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA; and/or 2.3.1.2 obtain transport for delivery of the traffic to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA (a) from a third party, or, (b) if Frontier offers such transport pursuant to a Frontier access Tariff, from Frontier. 2.3.2 For each Tandem or End Office One-Way Interconnection Trunk group for delivery of traffic from Onvoy to Frontier with a utilization level of less than sixty percent (60%) for final trunk groups and eighty-five percent (85%) for high usage trunk groups, unless the Parties agree otherwise, Onvoy will promptly submit ASRs to disconnect a sufficient number of Interconnection Trunks to attain a utilization level of approximately sixty percent (60%) for all final trunk groups and eighty-five percent (85%) for all high usage trunk groups. In the event Onvoy fails to submit an ASR to disconnect One-Way Interconnection Trunks as required by this Section, Frontier may disconnect the excess Interconnection Trunks or bill (and Onvoy shall pay) for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment. 2.3.3 Where the Parties use One-Way Interconnection Trunks for the delivery of traffic from Frontier to Onvoy, Frontier, at Frontier’s own expense, shall provide its own facilities for delivery of the traffic to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA.
Two-Way Interconnection Trunks 2.4.1 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic between PRTC and CSPR, CSPR, at its own expense, shall: 2.4.1.1 provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on PRTC’s network; and/or 2.4.1.2 obtain transport to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on PRTC’s network (a) from a third-party, or, (b) if PRTC offers such transport pursuant to this Agreement or an applicable PRTC Tariff, from PRTC. 2.4.2 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic between PRTC and CSPR, PRTC, at its own expense, shall provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on PRTC’s network. 2.4.3 Prior to establishing any Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, CSPR shall meet with PRTC to conduct a joint planning meeting (“Joint Planning Meeting”). Where the Parties have agreed to convert existing One-Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, at the Joint Planning Meeting, the Parties shall also mutually agree on the conversion process and project intervals for conversion of such One-Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks. 2.4.4 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic, CSPR and PRTC shall negotiate a mutually agreed-to forecast of expected traffic on an annual basis. If CSPR fails to utilize the trunks at a level of at least sixty (60) percent of the forecasted level over a 12-month period, the parties will proceed under Section 11.2.2 of this Attachment. 2.4.5 The Parties shall meet (telephonically or in person) from time to time, as needed, to review data on End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks to determine the need for new trunk groups and to plan any necessary changes in the number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks. 2.4.6 Two-Way Interconnection Trunks shall have SS7 Common Channel Signaling. The Parties agree to utilize B8ZS and Extended Super Frame (ESF) DS1 facilities, where available. Where ESF/B8ZS is not available, CSPR agrees to use other interconnection protocols reasonably acceptable to PRTC. 2.4.7 With respect to End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, both Parties shall use a service standard is based on average Time Consistent Busy Hour (TCBH), busy season originating attempts and overflows as defined in Telcordia document SR-TAP-000191 entitled Trunk Traffic Engineering Concepts and Applications. 2.4.8 Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a PRTC access Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of B.005 during the average time consistent busy hour. Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a PRTC local Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of B.01 during the average time consistent busy hour. PRTC and CSPR shall engineer Two-Way Interconnection Trunks using BOC Notes on the LEC Networks SR-002275
