okay, now let's change venue: the hotel has copper pairs to all of the rooms that are terminated on a dslam. this dslam has only ethernet out and on the segment can
each cable pair/customer to a vlan. these vlans are then aggregated into 10/100 switches in the basement uplinked to the corporate office via gige. > then all those customer vlans end up being bridged 1483 to atm
Sez "Bob Biver" <bbiver@hotmail.com> provision pvcs into an
ssg.
Don't forget you'll have to have DSL CPE in every room; that's why most places use Ethernet in the first place.
what box could possible aggregate all this gige,
You don't state what kind of density you require, but several vendors build GE aggregation devices.
sar to atm, all the while
Unless something's come out recently I wasn't aware of (likely), nobody can SAR at multi-Gbit speeds. In any case, why SAR it to ATM at the head end when you already have it there as packets? Isn't that counter-productive?
supporting thousands of vlans
Good luck.
many thanks from hotel owners everywhere 8>
May I suggest you reconsider your architecture?
