[c-nsp] Cisco 10k?

[Matt Addison]

Cisco have channelized OC3 SIPs (or, if you don't mind EOL equipment,
you can get engine 0 GSR 2x channelized OC3 cards). I think there's also
an Engine3 GSR OC12 channelized card. The SIP/SPA combo works on at
least the 12k and 7600 platforms, support is planned for the new ASRs I
believe but it's a few months off.

We're currently looking at replacing our Engine0 GSR solution with a
7600 SIP/SPA running channelized OC3 SPAs, but the per-port cost is kind
of steep with any of Cisco's channelized optical interfaces.

Also if anyone from Cisco is listening, when are you going to come out
with a channelized OC12 to DS3 SPA? It seems you can only get that on
the 7600 platform with an EOL OSM, and there's no SPA on the roadmap to
replace that.

Another option would be to get something that does OC3 ports (or bigger)

and lets you map out DS1s to subinterfaces. Not sure what Cisco cards 
would be appropriate. Something like an Adtran opti system, and 
appropriate cisco card, you could run an OC3/12/48 into your Cisco. I'm 
sure Adtran would be helpful suggesting the right gear, perhaps other 
people on the list would be helpful on the Cisco side.
