I'm looking into an edge 65XX solution for a new DC with multiple sonet connections to GigE and I was hoping for some real world feedback. Particularly, we're considering the OSM-4OC3-POS-SI+ and the OSM-2OC12-POS-SI+. While performance and redundancy may best be served by GSRs with engine3/4 linecards or the big J, I'm not convinced the expense is worth the additional costs. Any hands-on experiences or 3rd party performance statistics are most welcome. Thank you, jeff
Expense? (I'll preface this by saying that even though I have not used OSM, I have used 6509/MSFC2 a lot and like it greatly). Expense? Used Juniper gear, even when re-certing it, is still probably orders of magnitudes cheaper than OSM. Live life. Get a couple M20's, and some 6509-SUP2 (non-MSFC) with GE uplinks. You'll be happy, it will be stable, and you'll not spend a lot of money. On Wed, 11 Dec 2002, Jeff Nelson wrote:

I work for an ISP which recently obtained a new network block from ARIN. The new IP addresses in that CIDR are not being recognized as IP addresses within the United States, or are being seen as over-seas IP addresses. This has resulted in the IP addresses to be blocked by several financial institutions, military agencies, VPN Gateways, PGP, etc. We are currently working on this issue on a case by case basis, but it is becoming an overwhelming task to try and track down the appropriate contact(s) of the larger organizations and military agencies. If anyone has some advise, suggestions, or assistance that they can offer in regards to this situation, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, J. Borris
