At the time of writing this we are using them mostly for backhauling our 
DSL/FTTH access nodes.
But also using them for directly connecting "bandwith hungry" business 
customers with fibre access to the Internet in combination with 
ME3400-2CS as CPE.

Therefor i'm specially interested in deployment and QoS scenarios where 
to "shrink down" bandwith on ingress to somewhat below 1 Gbps (200 Mbps 
up to 500 Mpbs) with class "best effort" without dropping to much packets.

Yes, please.

Regarding with "old IPv4" deployment using DHCP locally served on the 
ME3800/ME3600, the feature "authorized DHCP" (MAC authorized inside a 
VRF) isn't VRF aware. At least for business customers i would like to 
see this thing working.


Best Regards.
