Direct Trunked Transport Sample Clauses
The Direct Trunked Transport clause defines the terms under which telecommunications traffic is carried directly between two points over dedicated trunk lines, bypassing intermediate switching facilities. In practice, this clause outlines the responsibilities of each party regarding the installation, maintenance, and use of these direct trunk connections, including technical specifications and cost allocation. Its core function is to ensure efficient, high-capacity communication between networks while clarifying obligations and reducing potential disputes over service quality and charges.
Direct Trunked Transport. 7.3.2.1 Either Party may elect to purchase direct trunked transport from the other Party.
7.3.2.1.1 Direct trunked transport (DTT) is available between the Serving Wire Center of the POI and the terminating and/or transiting Party's Tandem Switch or End Office Switches. The applicable rates are described in Exhibit A. DTT facilities are provided as dedicated DS3, DS1 or DS0 facilities.
7.3.2.1.2 When DTT is provided to a local or Access Tandem Switch for Exchange Service (EAS/Local) traffic, or to an Access Tandem Switch for IntraLATA LEC Toll, or Jointly Provided Switched Access traffic, the applicable DTT rate elements apply between the Serving Wire Center and the Tandem Switch. Additional rate elements for delivery of traffic to the terminating End Office Switch are tandem switching and tandem transmission. These rates are described below.
7.3.2.1.3 Mileage shall be measured for DTT based on V&H coordinates between the Serving Wire Center and the local/Access Tandem Switch or End Office Switch.
7.3.2.1.4 Fixed Charges per DS0, DS1 or DS3 and per mile charges are defined for DTT in Exhibit A of this Agreement.
7.3.2.2 If the Parties elect to establish LIS two-way DTT trunks, for reciprocal exchange of Exchange Service (EAS/Local) traffic, the cost of the LIS two-way DTT facilities shall be shared among the Parties by reducing the LIS two-way DTT rate element charges as follows:
7.3.2.2.1 The provider of the LIS two-way DTT facility will initially share the cost of the LIS two-way DTT facility by assuming an initial relative use factor of fifty percent (50%) for a minimum of one (1) quarter if the Parties have not exchanged LIS traffic previously. The nominal charge to the other Party for the use of the DTT facility, as described in Exhibit A, shall be reduced by this initial relative use factor. Payments by the other Party will be according to this initial relative use factor for a minimum of one (1) quarter. The initial relative use factor will continue for both ▇▇▇▇ reduction and payments until the Parties agree to a new factor, based upon actual minutes of use data for non-ISP-Bound traffic to substantiate a change in that factor. For purposes of determining the relative use factor, the terminating carrier is responsible for ISP-Bound traffic and for VNXX traffic. If either Party demonstrates with traffic data that actual minutes of use during the previous quarter justifies a new relative use factor, that Party will send a notice to the other Party. T...

7.3.2.1.3 Mileage shall be measured for DTT based on V&H coordinates between the Serving Wire Center and the local/access tandem or end office.
Direct Trunked Transport. The provisions of this Section 7.3.2 apply only when required by one of the exceptions identified in Section 7.3.1.2.
7.3.2.1 Either Party may elect to purchase Direct Trunked Transport from the other Party.
7.3.2.1.1 Direct Trunked Transport (DTT) will apply between the Wire Center serving the POI (Serving Wire Center) and the terminating Party’s Tandem or End Office Switches, as applicable, where direct trunking is requested. The applicable rates are described in Exhibit A. DTT facilities are provided as dedicated DS3, DS1 or DS0 facilities.
7.3.2.1.2 When DTT is provided to a local or access tandem for Exchange Service (EAS/Local) traffic, or to an access tandem for Exchange Access (IntraLATA Toll), or Jointly Provided Switched Access traffic, the applicable DTT rate elements apply between the Serving Wire Center and the tandem.

7.3.2.1.1 Direct Trunked Transport (DTT) is available between the Serving Wire Center of the POI and the terminating Party’s Tandem or End Office Switches. The applicable rates are described in Exhibit A. DTT facilities are provided as dedicated DS3, DS1 or DS0 facilities.
7.3.2.1.1.1 CLEC may establish a POI in the same building as Qwest’s Tandem Office Switch. When CLEC arranges a local Interconnection trunk group through this POI to Qwest’s Tandem Office Switch, Qwest will not apply either EF or DTT charges. When CLEC arranges collocated equipment in a Qwest Serving Wire Center other than the building which houses a Qwest Tandem Office Switch, and CLEC requests a trunk group to the Qwest Tandem Office Switch via the Collocation, Qwest will assess DTT charges on the distance between the Serving Wire Center and the Tandem Office Switch. EF charges will not apply in this case.

Direct Trunked Transport. 7.3.2.2.1 The provider of the LIS two-way DTT facility will initially share the cost of the LIS two-way DTT facility by assuming an initial relative use factor of fifty percent (50%) for a minimum of one (1) quarter if the Parties have not exchanged LIS traffic previously. The nominal charge to the other Party for the use of the DTT facility, as described in Exhibit A, shall be reduced by this initial relative use factor. Payments by the other Party will be according to this initial relative use factor for a minimum of one (1) quarter. The initial relative use factor will continue for both ▇▇▇▇ reduction and payments until the Parties agree to a new factor, based upon actual minutes of use data for non- ISP-bound traffic to substantiate a change in that factor. If CLEC's End User Customers are assigned NPA-NXXs associated with a rate center other than the rate center where the End User Customers are physically located, traffic that does not originate and terminate within the same Qwest Local Calling Area, regardless of the called and calling NPA-NXXs involving those End User Customers, is referred to as "VNXX traffic." For purposes of determining the relative use factor, the terminating carrier is responsible for ISP-bound traffic and for VNXX traffic. If either Party demonstrates with traffic data that actual minutes of use during the previous quarter justifies a new relative use factor, that Party will send a notice to the other Party. The new factor will be calculated based upon Exhibit H. Once the Parties finalize a new factor, ▇▇▇▇ reductions and payments will apply going forward from the date the original notice was sent. ISP-bound traffic is interstate in nature. Qwest has never agreed to exchange VNXX traffic with CLEC.
