Charles,

I'm running 12.2(17a) on the same box in a production environment with
ATM interfaces.  No problems yet.

Subject: [nsp] 12.2T vs 12.3

Hi all,

I'm looking for some input on a nasty situation.  I'm stuck with doing
both DSL aggregation and all transit stuff on a 7206VXR (w/NPE-300).
CPU
and bandwidth wise, it's got the oomph needed for the foreseeable
future,
but the DSL junk is forcing me to leap up to IOS versions that I'm not
completely comfortable with.

Currently, I'm running 12.2(8)T Enterprise and filtering everything to
protect against this last nasty bug.  While looking at the handy new
side-by-side feature comparison page
(http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl) I'm finding that
for a few features (option 82 DHCP relay stuff, RBE) I'm pretty much
locked into 12.2T or 12.3.

Which is the lesser of those two evils?  There is a ton of junk in each
of
those that I'm sure introduces all sorts of bugs I've never even
imagined.
Which train will receive fixes first, and which would you trust in a
production ISP network?

Thanks,

Charles
