AFAIK there is no such thing as a PIPE-150, and if you have proxy arp switched on then you might see this behavour. You did read the manual ? :-)
I use the GRF-400 and it works well, Although I agree that Ascends current support management is completely broken. As for Ethernet, in my experience if you push anything near to 100M you should really spend the extra cash on FDDI, it works far better. The POS card for the GRF works excellently, you can use it as a frame relay switch, however Ascend manage to do stupid things like break your ability to restrict AS annoucements via AS path. sigh.
Neil, We saw a rough limit of about 45k pps through the grf oc3 pos card. Have you seen better, or has it not been an issue for traffic pattern reasons or something? RobS
