Specifications include, but are not limited to: a.Bandwidth utilization options needed:i.100Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 3Gbps, 4Gbps, 5 Gbps, 6Gbps, 7Gbps, 8Gbps, 9Gbps,10Gbps, 15Gbps, 20Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps.b.Provider Architecture: preference for designs that minimize single points of failure; including resilience in Provider Premise Equipment, fiber paths, and Provider Core infrastructure.c.Preference for designs that allow configuration and service flexibility. For example, it would be preferred for the circuits at each location to support an arbitrary combination of Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 functions to suit the changing needs of Schools and partners:i.Layer 1 services - DWDM waves between sites, logically isolated secondary ports on Provider Edge equipment, etc.ii.Layer 2/3 services - support for Q-in-Q, MPLS, jumbo packets, etc.
