[c-nsp] PPPoe Access Concetrators

[Shiraz]

Cisco 7206VXR NPE-1G, 512Mb will let you live between 6k to 8k easily and
then perhaps try making your life difficult.

I've seen 7206VXR, NPE400 going up to 2.5k with some noticeable load.

We're moving from Redback to the 7200's currently so my opinion is
biased to some degree.  We have had numerous issues with our Redbacks
that I don't see in the Cisco world....  And not trying to start a war
on the Redbacks (really)... But 10k sessions?  Is this a marketing
number or real world?

Our plans are to get 5k sessions on a 7206VXR even though Cisco claims
16,000.  We'll push it to 8k sessions but I think we'll hit limits at
that number... My opinion anyways....

Thanks :)

Paul

I have had very good luck with our Redback SMS 1800.  With a CE3/FE3
combo it can support upto 10k PPPoE/L2TP terminations.
