I found an RB230 (I think that is the number) on a tower. Can that handle MPLS\VPLS with full BGP routes? ;-)
Better pricing? They have to what, cut it in half to be competitive? GigE radios are something like $7k/link now. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shayne Lebrun via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 8:09:37 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Force 100 beefy (gosh, I hope I'm allowed to say all this, but what the hell, they didn't say 'and don't repeat nothing!' and it's not like other road-show goers can't ask themselves) Oh, I'm sure it'll be user-definable, on the 450, in terms of how to sync. The thing is, with the ePMP, you have exactly three options; something like 75/25, 50/50, and 30/70. Those are all you get for sync options; the downlink percent. They were very clear that 'max range' is NOT a timing parameter. So, making your 450s sync with your ePMP is going to have some tradeoffs, and that's to be expected. As to the 100/430s, it was pretty unambiguous that those would never sync with the ePMP. Or have their MTUs increased. Or all sorts of other stuff. The idea they seem to be moving to, and this is my conclusion rather than a direct statement, is that the 100 series gets flat-out replaced with ePMP, you put 450 where you have needs that the 450 meets (no guard bands, smaller latency, etc etc) and that the 430 is a red-headed stepchild. Don't ask what the 320 is in that analogy. Also, there's a new licensed PTP radio to be announced in a month or so, which, supposedly, a better pricing structure. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-bounces+slebrun=muskoka....@afmug.com] On Behalf Of George Skorup (Cyber Broadcasting) via Af Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 6:00 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Force 100 beefy I was told there will be various options coming soon to make all of this stuff sync. There will be advantages and disadvantages to each way of doing things, but at least it will work. As far as the aging PMP/PTP100, I assume it will do 5ms framing because that's what 900 does today, so it is possible on the platform, obviously with a latency hit, but what can you do.
