I'll chime in and say that the 7450/7750 are very nice boxes. Their non-stop routing feature is something that other vendors are barely starting to support, years after they started doing it. Now they are onto features like cross-chassis 802.3ad, etc. that no one else is doing in a SP router platform. The 7450 which is priced against switch-like devices like the C76xx and the JMXxxx is a decent competitor to those platforms. The 5260 is actually a decent NMS which is something I never thought I'd say about a NMS, although the pricing model isn't very good. Phil On May 13, 2008, at 1:16 PM, Dan Snyder wrote:
Anyone use Alcatel switches in their network...like the 6850 omniswitch? What are your thoughts on them?
What about Alcatel's MPLS edge routers like the 7x50 products that came from Timetra...anyone have any experience with them? Are they a good product?
Thanks, Dan
