Anyone has a ZTE sales contact in the US, specifically in the New England region?

Seems like something I may want to look into.. Tired of SmartNet..

Regards..

The ZTE ZXR10 5960 will do MPLS for about 3k USD:

24x 10G and 2x 40G

We use them for L2VPN (VPLS).

I have not done QOS on this hardware, so I can not say how well that works.

Hey Nanog,

Looking for a new metroE Edge switch that has more that 10x 10G ports. I am having a hard time finding anything 
worthwhile without buying a full blown ASR9K Chassis or another vendor's chassis.

Requirements
MEF compliant
1-2U small foot print
10G Ports will be used for ENNI's and UNI Ports Prefer MPLS support 
for L2VPN's (EoMPLS and VPLS) QOS per Sub interface\vlan on a ENNI 
Cost effect 10G Ports 100G Not required


Looking at the
ASR920's - Great box for 1G but not enough 10G Ports Only 4
NCS5001/NCS5501 - New\unproven\probably buggy, Lacking some features & QOS issues :/
ASR900 - Looks good, but was hoping for a smaller foot print. If I remember right the 8x10G Cards can't go in every 
slot.

Any other platforms I should be looking at?

Ciena, Brocade, Juniper?



Thanks in advance!

-Erik
