[c-nsp] Redback SMS 1800 replacement

[Matthew Crocker]

Hello,

  I have a Redback SMS 1800 handling a DS-3 ATM circuit running PPPoE  
& Bridged Ethernet DSL customer,  Approx 50 PVCs,  1k users,   
20mbps.   What  cisco box would you recommend I get to replace  
this?    Ideally I would like power & process redundancy and the  
ability to grow to OC-3 ATM in the future.   Optionally it would be  
nice if I could also terminate a couple GigE interfaces with customer  
facing 'Metro Ethernet' from some of my IP DSLAMS,  couple hundred VLANs

I'm thinking a 7301 with broadband licensing would work pretty well  
but I don't have any experience running PPPoE on Cisco gear.

Also, the Redback has 10 or so 'contexts' which are like VRFs and  
customers are placed into an appropriate context by their @domain and  
with RADIUS attributes (Redback-Context =  Internet) for example.


Thanks
