Hello all,

We've run across a project that requires support for several (ie:  
10-20) L2TPv3 tunnels due to user needs/constraints. As far as I can  
tell, the only major vendor supporting L2TPv3 features at this time is  
Cisco; however, I openly admit that I'm not very familiar with the  
more traditional service provider offerings. While I'd love to drop a  
ton of cash on some new Cisco gear, I'm afraid that will push our  
budget over the limit.

Is there a box out there with decent port density at a reasonable  
price that supports L2TPv3? It doesn't need a TON of management  
features.. it'll only be used as an L2TPv3 aggregator.

I very much appreciate any suggestions or insights.
