There has been a lot of good feedback regarding the deficiencies of the 7600 platform... So, the new question is: what platforms should a small, start-up ISP consider when looking to provide Ethernet services to their customers? - Scalability - 100M, 1G, 10G access speeds (backplane limitations, number of ports per chassis, etc.) - MPLS Capabilities - QoS Features - Ease of configuration and support, etc. (finding NOC talent, scripting tools, etc.) - Software/Hardware "stability" and "longevity" (we don't want something that is brand-new and therefore "buggy" nor do we want something that is going EOL next year) - Bang for the buck (both acquisition and on-going maintenance and support) I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things...are there any good presentations from previous NANOG meetings that one should review? Thanks in advance, Ben
