Common use of Physical Architecture Clause in Contracts

Physical Architecture. 64.3.1 CenturyLink's network architecture in any given local exchange area and/or LATA can vary markedly from another local exchange area/LATA. Using one or more of the NIMs herein, the Parties will agree to a physical architecture plan for a specific Local Calling Area. The physical architecture plan will be discussed during joint implementation planning. CLEC and CenturyLink agree to Interconnect their networks through existing and/or new Interconnection Facilities between CLEC switch(es) and CenturyLink's End Office Switch(es) and/or Tandem Switch(es). The physical architecture plan will be in accordance with Forecasting and Planning requirements in Article IV. 64.3.2 Either Party must provide thirty (30) Days written notice of any changes to the physical architecture plan. 64.3.3 Each Party is solely responsible for the facilities that carry OS/DA, 911 or Mass Calling for their respective End Users. Separate trunks ordered via ASRs at Tariffed rates must be utilized for connecting CLEC’s switch(es) to each of these services. 64.3.4 In accordance with industry traffic engineering standards, trunk requirements for forecasting and servicing shall be based on an overall blocking standard of one percent (1%) during the average busy hour, as defined by Erlang B standards, for the final trunk groups between a CLEC end office and a CenturyLink access Tandem carrying Meet Point traffic and all direct end office trunk groups. All other Tandem trunk groups are to be engineered with a blocking standard of one percent (1%).

For the final trunk groups between a CLEC end office End Office and a CenturyLink End Offices, direct trunk groups are to be engineered with a blocking objective of one percent (1%). Trunks to access Tandem Tandems carrying Meet Point traffic Jointly Provided Switched Access Traffic and all direct end office trunk groups. All other Tandem trunk groups are to be engineered with a blocking standard objective of one one-half percent (10.5%).
