Put an OC-12 POS card in the GSR and connect into an ONS 15454 OC-12 
card.  Pop a ML series Ethernet switch card into the ONS and xconnect 
the OC-12 into the POS port on the back of the ML card.   You can then 
map VLANs over to the GSR.  The ML series has GigE on the front,  It is 
essentially a 3550 on a card with 2 POS/RPR ports on the back end and 2 
GigE on the front.

Put an OC-12 ATM card in the GSR and run it into an ATM switch and do 
RFC1483 (Bridged Ethernet over ATM) out one or more GigE ports.

Put an OC-12 POS card into the GSR and connect to another OC-12 POS 
card in another GSR/7304/7600.
