Expense? (I'll preface this by saying that even though I have not used OSM, I have used 6509/MSFC2 a lot and like it greatly). Expense? Used Juniper gear, even when re-certing it, is still probably orders of magnitudes cheaper than OSM. Live life. Get a couple M20's, and some 6509-SUP2 (non-MSFC) with GE uplinks. You'll be happy, it will be stable, and you'll not spend a lot of money. On Wed, 11 Dec 2002, Jeff Nelson wrote:
I'm looking into an edge 65XX solution for a new DC with multiple sonet connections to GigE and I was hoping for some real world feedback. Particularly, we're considering the OSM-4OC3-POS-SI+ and the OSM-2OC12-POS-SI+. While performance and redundancy may best be served by GSRs with engine3/4 linecards or the big J, I'm not convinced the expense is worth the additional costs. Any hands-on experiences or 3rd party performance statistics are most welcome. Thank you, jeff
