Nathan,
I know we have five 16 slot routers up and running to date and will go to
19 soon.  We have had some issues with adding pvc(s) . The new code
should
be released soon, but it is not good, when you have to take other
customers
down to add a new one.  Like you we are very please with the gigarouter,
but they still have a way to go.  Have you tried getting stats from hssi
cards? Have you tried to look at the bgp tables?  Have you tried
communities and federations?
Any way I am not upset with them, I know they have alot behind, the fact
that they are open is the main plus, that is why I am carring their flag,
but they really need to get behind scaling the product.  What a problem,
sell more in one month than you sold in the first three years.
Anyway, let's keep in touch.  I am getting some code this week that
should
really make a big difference.

right direction.  Still some parts missing, I hope we can hold on
until
they get here, but the direction is right.  I think the open idea is
the
only way to go on this issue.
We have been using them for about 5 months now, and I like them a lot.
We
have worked with Ascend to fix a large numbers of problems. They are
very
stable now, and have a lot of people working to make them better.
