[c-nsp] ATM Switch advice - MGX8850??

[Vusi Ndebele]

I am looking for a data centre ATM switch to switch VP's between my E1 IMA
aggregation devices, my BRAS and my voice softswitch. What are people's
feelings about the MGX 8850? Is there a more relevant product I should be
looking at? I will mostly be switching VPs rather than making the switch VC
aware, so don't need the ability to switch millions of VCs, just to handle 4
X STM4's(OC-12) coming from my E1 MUXes and distributing them to my BRAS on
either SMT4 or SMT1 (OC-3) with full switching redundancy. I am looking at
the MGX 8850 because those are fairly cheap on the used market. Any advice
appreciated.


Regards
