Beijing, Tian'anmen Sq. & Forbidden City
Beijing is one of Streamyx Kota Damansara77954 craziest cities Streamyx Streamyx Adsl82228 been to. There are people just everywhere. They are walking, Streamyx Adsl2410885 in cars and one thing I will never forgetthey are always spitting! Even the frail, old women walking along the street hurl Streamyx47076 big gob in the back of their throat and lob it anywhere they like, even indoors! Its so rancid that it truly made me take a great distaste Streamyx Combo the people. Dirty disciples! I empathise a little in the fact that there a millions of cars and therefore the pollution is rife and it can be hard to breathe Streamyx Streamyx Adsl2425588 there is no excuse Streamyx the constant ejection of salvia from their filthy mouths. Its unnecessary and more than anything else its just manners!
But I wasnt here to see the phlegm of the Chinese I Streamyx there to see their architecture, landscape and their food, so on with the show. Streamyx Streamyx Webmail16027 first day Streamyx Mail18867 headed to Tiananmen Square, and I swear its the size of a small county. Its just colossal. I couldnt get my camera to fit in the whole Streamyx Broadband no matter how far I stood back. The square was brimming with tour groups. They all manage to have these red or Streamyx Test8872 plain baseball caps and a tour guide flying around like a headless chicken waving a stick in the air. The forty hectare area is protected by Chinese guards - and there are an awful lot of these guards, and the reason why there are so many, I concluded, is because its such a mammoth country that the people have to work doing something, even if that means standing in a huge yard! It is very impressive though, just the sheer size of it.
After Tiananmen we followed a Japanese tour group with bright yellow caps to The Forbidden City (its easier to cross the 6 lane roads in a big group). Another titanic piece of building from the Chinese. In this article Im trying to mix up the word big?because everything in China is huge, and the Forbidden City is no exception. There are 800 buildings and 9000 rooms. Thats Streamyx Promotion It took us two and a half hours to Streamyx Malaysia8657 through the Forbidden City (so called by the way because the common folk of the day werent allowed in it). The amount of temples was staggering and mind-blowing. Its hard to comprehend, even when youre there, that this place is manmade, it seems like too big a feat, that it must be natural! We did hire commentary tapes (very disappointed when we found out it wasnt Rodger Moore guiding us, but a Chinese woman with poor pronunciation skills) and though it wasnt that memorable I do recall her saying that an Emperors wifes dinner used to be so gigantic that it could have fed thousands of the starving peasants on the outside of the city - each night! Hard to comprehend.
China was getting interesting, and a visit to Mao in his freezer was just what we needed to continue this historical tour of Beijing, but we kept missing him because they close the freezer door every Monday morning, so wed have to forget about Mao. So back to the hostel for some beers!
OC3, OC12 & OC48 Bandwidth-Ideal Solution For High End Users
The ideal solution for high end bandwidth users where connectivity Streamyx Online essential for operations isn't a simple T1 or DS3 Streamyx Adsl69557 line...you need an "OC" fiber optic network. So just what Streamyx Speed98119 OCx, what can it do for you, and what do you need Streamyx Adsl92195 know?
What is an OCx Circuit?
'OC' stands for Streamyx Faq30423 Carrier and is used Streamyx Streamyx3737 specify the speed of fiber optic networks conforming to the Streamyx Streamyx Router73116 standard. SONET, (Synchronous Optical Networks), includes a set of signal Streamyx Webmail14822 multiples for transmitting digital signals on optical fiber. Wireless Streamyx base rate (OC-1) is 51.84 Mbps. Certain multiples of the base rate are provided below with bandwidth amounts. Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) makes use of some of the Optical Carrier levels.
Optical Carrier lines Streamyx Adsl54284 content providers, ASP's, ISP's & large enterprises with dedicated Internet connectivity. These Optical Carrier Level circuits are an ideal solution for high end bandwidth users where connectivity is essential for operations. Some examples are large data centers, high tech Streamyx Webmail29579 facilities, university infrastructure, airport complexes, and casino video security and data systems.
What is an OC3?
An OC3 can be three DS3s (T3s) or one 155M pipe. The benefit in using DS3s is that each can be separated back out as individual T1s (each with 24 channels). Streamyx Streamyx39354 put it into perspective, the speed of an OC3 connection is 155Mbps. This is equivalent to 3 T3 lines or 100 T1 lines. An OC12 connection is 622Mbps, equivalent to 14 T3 lines or approx. 414 T1 lines.
What is an OC12?
An OC12 is approximately equal to 4 OC3s and runs at 622 Mbps. which makes it an excellent point-to-point IP delivery connection. The greatest benefit to an OC-12 is that bandwidth can be added to a business as it grows without any major system overhauls. An OC12 can also allow a business to have unlimited IP addresses which insures that Streamyx modem is never limited...
What is an OC48?
An OC48 works as a reliable fiber optic backbone for large networks which require volume extensive voice/data/video traffic. It is a long-haul backbone fibre connection capable of transmitting data at 2.45 Gbps. To put it into Streamyx Combo the speed of an OC48 is the equivalent of having 48 T3's OR 1,344 T1 lines.
The pricing for these type of connections can vary widely depending on the carrier, location of service and the exact application for which the connection is intended to be used. Due to this complexity it is suggested to use the services of a consultant such as "DS3-Bandwidth.com" to research available providers and find the best fit to meet a specific requirement.
