Do not bank on the ERX as an Edge Device anymore...Thsi is what I got from some recent ex-employees: The ERX is being positioned and focused going forward strictly as a BRAS, with the M-series focused on edge routing. Of course this development is at odds with the very successful "one box solution" story that UNI pitched. Internally the plan is for no new development of edge routing features on the ERX. Nortel/Shasta - yeah maybe technically...but do you think Nortel might dump IP again soon? Cosine is the other box to look at that does it very well. >From: "alok" <alok.dube@apara.com> >To: "Ajay Simha" <asimha@cisco.com>, "Balaji Chandrasekaran" ><balaji.c@ntt.com> >CC: <mpls-ops@mplsrc.com> >Subject: Re: [MPLS-OPS]: Outbound Internet Connectivity !!! >Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 12:44:13 +0530 > >look at Shasta ;o) >or Unisphere > >2 nice products to cater to the same >-rgds >a >----- Original Message ----- >From: Ajay Simha <asimha@cisco.com> >To: Balaji Chandrasekaran <balaji.c@ntt.com> >Cc: <mpls-ops@mplsrc.com> >Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 8:30 AM >Subject: Re: [MPLS-OPS]: Outbound Internet Connectivity !!! > > >On Fri, 30 Aug 2002, Balaji Chandrasekaran wrote: > > >BC:Hello, > >BC: > >BC:Is there any Service Provider who is providing or planning to provide > >BC:Outbound Internet Connectivity Service. > >Sure.
