<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am currently in a search for a
PPPoE aggregation box for a large wireless deployment. I came across the 10000
ESR and wanted to know if people had deployed this solution or if there are any
thoughts on it. It seems *awfully* expensive, however, if it is worth it, I
think I can manage the budget to get it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also considering using a bunch of 7200 VXR's.
I know this is obviously not as nice since the VXR is software based, CPU is not
redundant, probably nearly EOS, etc etc etc, but they are available, relatively
cheaply, and if one of them goes down I would only lose one tower instead of
losing 6 towers with the ESR's 6 port DS-3 blade...tradeoffs,
tradeoffs!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would very much appreciate comments on the ESR or
suggestions,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
