Hello fellow nanogers, I am a long time user of Cisco gear and currently evaluating an alternative for my network expansion. currently the one that looks like it will be able to do the job iare Alcatel-Lucent 7710/7750 service routers. I am looking for real life experience of those who have used it and what I may need to watch out for (if anything) I have seen in some of their documentation features like Non-stop Services (NSS) and Non-stop Routing (NSR). are these features real world deployable. oh, just to add I want to use the routers as P routers in my IP/MPLS core
I've deployed hundreds of these boxes as PE devices and they work _very well_ indeed. Not sure specifically about the non-stop part of it other than we have some of this deployed and it seems to work but is an area I think ALU could expand upon (and I believe they plan too). The ALU-Trimetra chaps based in San Jose and in Belgium are superb to work with also. -- Neil J. McRae -- Alive and Kicking. neil@DOMINO.ORG
