Hey, what's the current favorites for various carrier services? I hate having a box for every type of service and speed. Would like to narrow the choices.
Enterprise guys.. what do you expect to pay for this type of gear when you order a service? Carrier guys--what are you charging for the equipment?
Need something for:
transparent L2 services
-to be terminated on PE router into VPLS/martini circuit
-customer should be able to pass multiple tagged/labeled traffic.. no restrictions
-being able to loop/reflect a customer port would be nice for RFC2544 testing
-one box for all speeds from 10M to 1G
-nice CLI
-I see lots of NIDs for sub $1000. Should fit this price range
L3VPN CE equipment:
-seamless MPLS would be nice (and be cheap? hah, doubt it)
-has to be "name-brand", Cisco, Juniper (preferred), etc
-something that can do 1G at wirespeed and maybe a different box for 100M and less
-what a reasonable cost for the CE router?
