 In my opinion it does not make sense to use CRS-1 or M320/T640 as a dedicated
LSR box, if you want 'stupid' switch-like box as LSR, there are cheaper
alternatives.
 What you're looking at with M320/T640 and CRS-1 is more of a pop-in-a-box
concept, and then RFC2547bis becomes very important. Take bunch of
LER's and your LSR from current pop and stick all of that in one or two
CRS-1/M320/T640.
