[c-ubr] Connect multiple upstreams of a single optical node with the same downstream

[Yann GAUTERON]

Hi Adeel and Ben,

Thanks for the information.

So it seems it is possible on Cisco uBR7246VXR. I'll try to make my lab 
with such a machine, both our uBR7246 and the uBR7114 are running IOS 
12.2(15)BC2.

Unfortunatelly, I can't access the document linked by Adeel, as I don't 
have a privileged account on the Cisco website !

Best regards,
Yann
