@Cdespinosa Another question: Why did he appear to claim last night that the router flooded the "TDM" network with data. What would it mean to flood a time division multiplexing system with data.
I'm not even saying they said something incorrect, although I think they said something incorrect. I'm just incredibly curious what sort of system architecture causes that question to make sense
This order advises the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) acquisition workforce that telecommunication companies are discontinuing Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) telecommunications services. This order provides guidance on the FAA's plans to standardize the use of Ethernet interfaces and the Internet Protocol (IP) for ground-to-ground, air-to-ground, intra- and inter-facility communications, for both voice and data.
@mcc @Cdespinosa old telco T1 trunks are analog TDM, 24 channels per carrier, and so assuming the guy isn't BSing, he could be explaining that the channel capacity was exceeded by the upgrade. unfortunately, these people aren't reliable narrators, so we're giving them an uncharacteristically charitable reading.
@atax1a @Cdespinosa Did you see the claim that there was some machine that was sending out 1000x as much data as it should have (or something similar, do not quote me on this)?
@mcc yes, and I can absolutely see where integrating gigabit fiber into a legacy T1 network could do just that. But this has been in process for seven years and hundreds of similar upgrades were apparently unremarkable. L3Harris aren’t newbies at this (they’re a merger of Harris and the remnants of Loral). I’m very curious about the precise technical issue and what the recovery plan actually was.
This is from the same regime that begged the owner of a mixed martial arts league to be the press secretary. It’s all hand-waving, and wish-casting, based of what is understood by malevolent midwits.
@paninid @atax1a @Cdespinosa *Something* happened. It's possible that someday we will even find out what it was.
