OC3 vs DS3 Bandwidth
OC3 is more than a fiber optic version of DS3. OC3 is a SONET
service offering 155 Mbps bandwidth. DS3 is a lower speed service
that provides 45 Mbps bandwidth and may be provisioned on either
a fiber optic or T3 copper based physical circuit.
The Latency Advantage of Landlines
A fiber optic path half-way around the world makes a signal travel
only 24,902 miles for a round trip. That same trip via geosynchronous
satellite is over 4x that. The difference is more significant
between closer points on the Earth. A 1,000 mile link using a
point to point fiber optic link is still 46,000 or so miles up
and down to the satellite.
