Does anyone use Telco Systems Carrier Ethernet & MPLS Aggregation Switches? I have heard good things about them. Overall, the saying is they price 10G ethernet switches at 1G ethernet pricing. It looks like they support MPLS. http://www.telco.com/index.php?page=product-category&category=ethernet-m

How does the ASR 903 compare to the 920? When we got pricing for the ASR 903 it was more expensive than a real ASR 9k router. On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 11:49 PM, Mark Tinka wrote: > > > On 13/Apr/16 02:29, Colton Conor wrote: > > Someone told me to check out extreme networks, cis

Low Cost CWDM or DWDM

What vendors do you recommend for low cost CWDM / DWDM gear? Assume you have a fiber ring of 50 miles of fiber, and want to have POPs evenly spaced around the ring that you want to jump on and off of. Assume you only have 2 fiber strands to work with, but can obtain two more at an additional cost.

So, from the sounds of it most are saying for low cost, the way to go would be a software router, which I was trying to avoid. To answer the bandwidth question, we would have three 10G ports with three different carriers and at max push 10Gbps of total traffic to start. I think this leaves me with
