Now, I guess my question is: am I getting sold the brooklyn bridge here?
Well no, but it does have some problems. A lot of the Cascades at UUNet are the old HSSI cards and have problems over 30 megs.
Anybody done/doing this with Cisco/StrataCom BPX/etc? One of our providers attempted this with us about a year ago, without success. This was before CEF/CAR, and they wanted to perform rate limiting/ shaping on our T3 down to 10Mbit/Sec. The idea was to use frame-to-ATM translation (terminology?) and then ATM QoS tweaks in the BPX, before shipping it to a 7513 via HSSI. Cisco wasn't able to make the specific FR card involved work then, however. I don't remember the switch card P/N. Is CAR inexpensive enough processor-wise that this and the CT-3 card make the above obsolete/moot? -- David Carmean <dlc@avtel.net> Avtel Communications, Santa Barbara, CA +1-805-884-6300 also: <dlc@silcom.com>, <dlc@matrixinet.{net,com}>, <dave@west.net> PGP fingerprint = B1 57 EB A8 1D B9 87 86 5F 5C 51 A4 F2 5E ED FD
