Optimal solution is to dual-home each AR via PTP links into the CR's. This has the simplest topology, fewest components, highest throughput, and highest availability. The only reason not to do this would the if you have poor pricing on the CR ports or need a larger number of them: Dual-home via PTP: 2 CR ports per AR Dual-home to switched LANs: 4 CR ports + switches If you know you are going to have just a handful of AR's and have reasonable CR port costs, then the costs will be similar and you should take the PTP approach. /John
