Would it be better to have a units field to describe the units that this field is in? I'm just wary of people getting confused and entering the more common bps instead of Bps.
Good point. If you think there is a change for confusion, I'd rather like to specify bit/s instead of adding units (since that IMHO only yields unnecessary complexity of the spec)
we sometimes want to explicitly say something really is a link, not a cross connect.
This probably opens up a bigger question of what is a "real" link?
Not sure if we have to answer that. I just can imagine I want to tell my neighbours about my external links, while stressing that I'm talking about links, not cross connects. In those case, it is useful to somehow distinguish. Regards, Freek
