This is where satellites fall down for me, also. You're dealing with a remote line card, rather than an access "network". Regardless of the cost implications of running your nV uplinks around in a diverse metro ring (euw?) you're still only going to gain uplink resilience via ASR9k clustering... And unless ASR9k clustering has some magic that I'm missing, systemic failures (or configuration cock-ups) of the entire cluster, are not something I want to have to worry about. -- Tom _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
