[cisco-bba] Which IOS?

[Frank Bulk]

After several months of patience involving two early a.m. maintenance
windows and two test builds I'm now much closer to getting a catastrophic
bug affecting us in 12.2(31)SB11 resolved.  From the crash dumps Cisco was
able to identify an issue with using an external DHCP server under high
usage loads (i.e. when downlink to all customers flaps).  After a little
urging Cisco took the time to replicate the environment so that now they are
able reproduce the issue within 10 minutes.

I wanted to use 12.2(31)SB11, but a severe bug prevented me from doing so,
so I'm actually using 12.4(19b) and it's running just peachy.  But I'm not
needing FR T-1's or VRF-lite.

Hello,

 

I am wondering what IOS people are using or would recommend for the
following setup:

 

7206VXR NPE-G1, 1GB RAM, mix of PA-A3-T3 & PA-A6-T3 cards doing PPPoA and a
few FR T1's in a service provider environment.  The biggest feature I need
is VRF-Lite, but thats pretty common?  No MPLS etc (Though perhaps in the
future?).  

 

I'm currently using the 12.2.(31)SB train, and with around 1500 active
sites.  

 

Does that sound right, or is it time to move to a 12.4 mainline?

 

Thanks in advance
