Correct the 454 is a mux.

Can I suggest a couple of things:

1: Please look at the 7609 for this application also, it has
much more edge type features than the GSR.
2: Give Cisco/reseller a call and get them to send an Systems 
Engineer down for a day to really understand what you are 
trying to do.

Neil.
