[c-nsp] LNS alternative to 7200?

[Tom Devries]

We were running 7200 NPEG1 terminating around 3000+ sessions at a
small-ish ISP I worked for.  The CPU was way too high and we off-loaded
the LNS function to an open-source platform called L2TPNS running on a
couple of HP DL380 linux machines.  These did the job well for the
bandwidth we offered (256k, 512, 1024 etc.).  Additionally the software
supports multicasting for failover of the cluster, and user
gardening(fw).  I know it`s not a Cisco solution but it was one that
worked for us quite well at the time, and scaled better than any router
at comparative cost point.

Hi,

 

We have a bunch of 7200's currently terminating dsl tails(Also doing
mpls/vrf's etc) - We are rolling out a new site, and have an initial
requirement(6-12months) to only support ~50 DSL tails, and also have a
limited budget - Are there any alternatives to the 7200's that we can
use for the above tasks? (Maybe a 2800 or 2900?)

 

Thanks in advance.
