The orginal question can be paraphrased as; "which board is better" (see the subject line). Tim S. couched his replies in the form of an ATM only solution. I feel that the HSSI board was not designed as such. Your comments seem to back up my assertions. I would claim that for raw throughput, and assuming the DS3 daughtercard for the AIP, that the HSSI board delivers more useful bits at the expense of an outboard CSU. This is based on my feeling that HDLC is more efficent than ATM signaling/framing.
Agreed... But it's not a feeling, it's a fact :)
