Jon, Are you aware of the 16-slot Ascend/NetStar GigaRouter? I am not sure if this router supports HSSI/Ethernet yet. Randy
I took a look at the Ascend GRF (which stands for "Goes Real Fast"). I was impressed with the performance of it, but not with the size. It's too small. With only 4 slots, it can have 8 HSSI ports, 8 ATM OC-3 ports, or 4 OC-12 ports. I don't think that's large enough for most of the big providers. It also has no V.35 ports, which are important for some of us that are doing a mixture of high-speed links and slower T1. The number of packets this thing can push through it is impressive, though. -Jon
