As one last aside, if you're paying 21k, you're paying a little more
than twice too much. Call Brocade and get yourself a real quote. I think
peoples main point here is that any handful of thousand dollars you
think you will be saving by going PC based, is going to dissapear the
very first downtime you experience with zero support. Also, all the
features you mention needing are standard features that any modern
router should have no problem with. It's been a while but if I remember
right you can terminate and route up to 4096 qinq based ve's on a single
CER. If you're network topology has you terminating ten thousand qinq
networks on a single box, I would take a step back and examine my
network topology (if it were me, anyway)
