In any such vendor choice, I'd say make sure that they have workable IPv6 before making any major investments. Otherwise, you've got a dead-end platform that won't serve you very well for very many years. Owen On Dec 6, 2011, at 7:25 PM, Mark Tinka wrote: > On Wednesday, December 07, 2011 03:52:

We have a Calix C7 as well as some E7-2's in a few markets for a little over a year. We only deal with GPON/AE deployments and the C7 worked to get us started but the E7 is definitely more purpose built for ethernet & fiber services. Just started several major build-outs which pushed us to re-eval
