<DIV><SPAN class=749253316-10122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
Cisco 10000 is an excellent alternative to other vendor's BRAS options.
The Cisco 10000 offers support for up to 61.5k sessions and does allow for ATM
PVC oversubscription that would accommodate your requirements. I'll let
Service Providers on this alias attest to their experience with the Cisco 10000
but I wanted to reaffirm that the Cisco 10000 does perform as a BRAS and does it
very well (I'm a bit biased).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Is anybody on the list using the
Cisco 10k in a broadband aggregation environment? I’m interested in any
feedback on the box. I am looking to terminate up to 40000 active PPPoA
sessions over 80000 configured PVCs coming in on either multiple STM1 or STM4
ATM bearers. What is the Cisco answer to the Redback 10000 and or the
SmartEdge400/800?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
