Best ATM termination poptions for DSL
We are focusing our efforts to target DSL market with 6400 and 7200.
We are adding all the necessary features (PPPoA, PPPoE,PPPoA SVC, RBE ...) to the 7200 series
to match the feature set of the 6400. We are even looking to create special DSL bundles for this market (any sugestions ?).
Due to fix processor and WAN interfaces, 7100 is really targeted for the VPN space and will not be able to participate in future enhancements to 7200 series that are necessary for the DSL market.
New processors (NSE-1 ..) are coming out for the 7200 that will vastly improve service aggregation performance and scalability.
Please contact me directly for futher road-map information on 7200 DSL features.
