To Nick's suggestion, we should probably start looking at Nokia. I've seen Level3/CenturyLink using SAS boxes at smaller data centers to aggregate 1GE customers. Right now, our temporary stop gap so far was to use ASR9901-120G for new 1GE aggregations instead of 920s, but again as said before, it is a huge box to install in both weight and power requirements; and in some places, we had to re-use ASR920s from spare simply because the site is not able to accomodate the 9901. Aside from the dimensions and power requirements, 9901 has been a pretty low-risk development from Cisco; stability and SW features have been surprisingly rock solid for a new product (I guess it's just 48x1G Powerglide (with ports rearranged to accomodate 2x100G) duct taped onto RSP880-LT with lighter fabric. I suppose that explains the huge power draw. 9001 is no longer viable as it'll go EOS any day now. MX80 too in this same bin. > > Juniper have binned that box. MX104 too is going EOS/EOL? May be it'll go when the new 'MX204-Lite' is out.. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
