If you have a large amount of ppp/mlppp channelized T3's as most people the=
n I would recommend dumping these into an Adtran TA5000 chassis with multis=
ervice ct3 cards and dumping them to ethernet. Then to an ASR or whatever y=
our vlan agg box is. The cost per t3 port should be significantly cheaper t=
han comparable cisco/juniper router ct3 ports. Last I checked the TA5K does=
n't have double tag stacking or HDLC support, but that may or may not be an=
 issue for some.

Subject: How are you aggregating WAN customers these days?

Hello,

I'm looking to put some feelers out there and see what people are
doing to aggregate WAN customers (T1,T3, etc...) these days. What
platforms/devices are you using? What seems to be working/not working?
Any insights would be great!

Thanks,
Chris
