2005-01-09 14:57:29 ET I Ball SoF: okay, so a BRI line uses 3 channels. 2 B channels for voice and data and a D channel for call info signalling. Mister Murd0c: PRI Mister Murd0c: yes I Ball SoF: But what the hell does "B channel" and "D" channel mean I Ball SoF: no, BRI. The ISDN version of the PRI line. Mister Murd0c: oh Mister Murd0c: i dont know, i'll find out for you I Ball SoF: Strom Carlson mentioned it on BinRev so I looked it up in this old "Cyberspeak" dictionary I pawed off B&N a while back Mister Murd0c: eventually, I have to wait for my telco homie to get online I Ball SoF: Lucky's on. I Ball SoF: You can bother him. I Ball SoF: which telco homie? Mister Murd0c: you can too Mister Murd0c: you don't know him Mister Murd0c: its an older phone phreak I know from MN I Ball SoF: I kinda know him. He kinda knows me. He IMed me one day. Mister Murd0c: uh huh Mister Murd0c: just ask him then I Ball SoF: Did I mention that I'm psychic and have visions. I Ball SoF: Like just now I had a vision of a huge sign saying I Ball SoF: GOOGLE I Ball SoF: and so I shall Mister Murd0c: heheh Mister Murd0c: <3 I Ball SoF: what's the first C in CLEC stand for again? Mister Murd0c: competitive I Ball SoF: ah I Ball SoF: also the "B" in B-channel stands for "Bearer" cause it bears the main data I Ball SoF: both B channels on a BRI are 64Kbps each while the D-channel is 16Kbps. I Ball SoF: oh, and the D stands for Delta. I Ball SoF: ah. I Ball SoF: BRI = 2 B channels (64Kbps each) + 1 D channel (16Kbps) I Ball SoF: PRI (U.S.) = 23 B channels (64Kbps) and 1 D channel (also 64Kbps) I Ball SoF: PRI (Europe) = 30 B channels and 1 D channel I Ball SoF: okay, now the word "channel" looks weird I Ball SoF: It now sounds french in my head. |
