I'm doing such a comparison right now..
Here are the things I am concerned about:
Xedia: Does T3/ATM interfaces and routes
Packeteer: Bridge Ethernet only.
Xedia: 600 individual profiles
Packeteer: 4096 (I think, double checking that with them)
Xedia: Doesn't need two routers
Packeteer: Since it only bridges, it has to be between two intelligent
devices. I don't think looping it out and back to the same Cisco would
work.
Since I need more profiles, I am leaning toward a Packeteer.
If anyone else has notes, I would like to hear them.
