What kind of OC12 CPE devices (routers) are people using out there? Initially for Internet connectivity, but probably would need to do advance features, i.e. BGP, etc. Thanks in advance! Sonya Blake Engineer BellSouth.net sblake@arch.bellsouth.net

Are you referring to an OC12c that you're using as a single 622 Mb/s pipe, or an OC12 that you're bringing into a SONET add/drop mux and breaking out STS-1 slots for DS3s or OC3/OC3c slots? If you're talking about an OC12c, your choices would probably be: Cisco 7600 Cisco 10000 Cisco 12xxx Juniper M-series - I think even an M5 could do an OC12c, though I'm not sure. Other offerings by Riverstone, Avici and others that I'm not as familiar with. You can put an OC12c into a Cisco 7200/7500 *in theory* using an OC12c DPT card, but the router will likely crap out long before you come close to saturating the pipe. For a channelized OC12, assuming you want to do the breakouts yourself, you could use pretty much anything that supports channelized OC12 (Cisco 10000/12000, Juniper, etc) as long as it can break the slots out the way you want. jms

Yes, a M5 has 4 slots each capable of OC12, GigE or lower speed interfaces.
