We have been using 7750's and 5620Sam since 2004. I believe we were one of the first US companies to deploy in a production environment. As with most vendors we have seen a few bug's, but TAC has always been there to help and provide a solution very quickly. The box have been stable and what I like most is that I have not had to upgrade any of the hardware, Just add cards as needed to increase capacity. When a new feature comes out I only have to upgrade the code and not the hardware. We run our network a like different in that we use our 7750's both as edge and core routers providing MPLS and Internet services to our customers. Works great for us... -----Original Message----- From: Scott Weeks [mailto:surfer@mauigateway.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 7:01 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: [NANOG] Alcatel --- bedard.phil@gmail.com wrote: I'll chime in and say that the 7450/7750 are very nice boxes.

A cisco terminal server was sending lots of random data (well not so random, it looked like it was sending a MOTD) to the console on a couple of 7x50s, which caused the CPMs to reset repeatedly, but still no packets were lost. Very cool! scott --------------------------- _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
