Hi,
Sorry for jumping into the discussion, but I have few points related with
the traffic trunk.
Can we use the term "aggregate load" in conjunction with traffic trunk ?
Secondly, the amount of traffic can vary between two given points either
at POP or inside the core. How does one speifically defines traffic trunk
in view of the following :
#1. Services
#2. Connections
#3. Flows 
#4. Lifetime of a switched data path inside the network.

I would simply define traffic trunk as aggregate traffic from point A to
point
B.


For example from Pop A of a service provider network to Pop B you would
always
have a "known" load of traffic.  This would be your traffic trunk.
