What is the significance of &quot;time slots&quot; in T1s? &nbsp;Do you only utilize timeslots when you want to seaprate a T1 over many of your sites??? &nbsp;This is the vague explanation my CCNA book gave.<br />
<br />
Are time slots commonly used with T1s? &nbsp;Is it the same thing as a fractional T1? <br />
<br />
Thanks for any explanation

T1s and time slots

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
