In part because I'm realizing that it is literally viable to plonk a 6509 into the colo, get a 10G uplink and pump out a bunch of 1000base?X connections (or even 100base?X) to customers at a fairly low price per port. In this case, there wouldn't be any active L2 termination at the customer other than a media converter or router with an appropriate SFP.

Just so you know, this isn't viable, at least not to scale. You can on the other hand use Cisco's ME line to do this even less expensively (so long as you weren't planning on buying used 6509). -- Scott Helms Vice President of Technology ZCorum (678) 507-5000 -------------------------------- http://twitter.com/kscotthelms --------------------------------
