GR 295 CORE : ISSUE 1

Gives an expanded scope and contents to reflect technology advances in the last 12 years. The document has been reorganized to include the fundamental bonding methods (and their variations) for network telecommunications equipment. These methods are isolated bonding networks (IBN) and mesh bonding networks (MBN). New criteria has been added for implementation of mesh bonding networks and additional criteria has been introduced for mesh-isolated bonding networks (mesh-IBN). Revisions have been added to existing criteria describing implementation of isolated bonding networks.
