I know that these boxes work well, theoretically, but I really want to know if any major ISP is using gigarouters on their core. Another issue is, if I have 30 ATM PVC�s over an OC-12 interface, how well this box will treat , it will provide QoS for all the PVC�s without impact the other services? Rogerio
Just go to the venders home pages, I sure they have archives of press releases that will tell you On Thu, 15 Oct 1998, Rogerio Alvarez - DRS23 wrote:

Are you referring to ascend's old netstar version called 'gigarouter' or the general terminology for a gigabit router? If you are talking about ascend's gigarouter, they are now known as 'GRFs' and have several different models capable of a wide range of performance. The ascend version ATM OC-12 Cards will support 512 VPI/VCI's mapped over each port, and we've recently seen routers that have ~60 sessions mapped across them.

The GRF-400 can't cope with 2 PVC's on an OC-3 interface properly. If one PVC overly maxes out it connection it makes every other PVC on the card drop packets. The PA-A3 card seems to cope with this on a 7500. Regards, Neil. -- Neil J. McRae.
