Contains Telcordia's preliminary view of proposed generic requirements for Voice Grade Special Access (VGSA) Services and IntraLATA Private Line Services (IPLS). Contains assurance requirements for fiber optic data links. The generic requirements are intended to be suitable for critical applications, such as equipment used for major networks. For other non-critical applications, such as most consumer users, a subset or smaller scale of the requirements contained in this document might be adequate.
