[c-nsp] 7206VXR vs 6500 series for PPPOE termination

[Paul Stewart]

Hmnm... Good question... At first we overlooked the 7301 because of cost,
but I just looked up some pricing and really they *seem* to fit into the
same price range.. Surprised..;)

Anyone educate me on the bb feature license?  I see there's a broadband
feature license.... How is this enforced/updated/changed down the road?

Thanks 

Paul

if the users come on L2TP tunnel the MWAM have big problam because the max
MTU between the MWAM and the SUP is 1524

why not 7301 ?
