RE: 10G MetroE 1-2U Switch

[Erik Sundberg <ESundberg () nitelusa com>]

Guys thanks for the feedback and direction.

Some follow up to some of the questions\comments

-MPLS support is preferreded.
-Uplinks to the core would be LACP Bundles at Nx10G. The majority of the traffic on the customer facing 10G ENNI's will 
be 10-100M EVC's. We would configure 10G Port with 2G CIR on this device, just not full 10G UNI Ports they would be put 
on a different device.
-MEF Required

-Erik

Hi Eric, A year or 2 ago, I did a good bit of work looking at various MPLS-capable-PE boxes as I was looking to replace 
the investment of Cisco ME3600's that couldn't keep up the pace of our FTTH 10 gig link expansions... that ME3600 only 
had (2) 10 gig ports.

Several links below are just a quick search I did on google to find some of this topics/discussions from the community.

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
