Subject: [AusNOG] LNS Thoughts

Hey all,
We’ve been having a lot of discussion internally, with customers and people in the industry in the last few months about what people are doing regarding DSL LNS’s for Small/Medium ISPs.
With the advent of faster DSL tails, MetroE, Mobile Broadband and so on, the throughput of Cisco G1’s and G2’s are fast becoming outdated.
I’m just wondering what other people are using for LNSs which can handle 1k-4k DSL servers these days – or other suggestions.
The Juniper MX80 is coming with LNS functionality, but isn’t here yet... but looks nice for the bang for buck when it is an option.  Anyone else have thoughts?
