What kind of OC12 CPE devices (routers) are people using out there?
Initially for Internet connectivity, but probably would need to do advance
features, i.e. BGP, etc.
Are you referring to an OC12c that you're using as a single 622 Mb/s pipe,
or an OC12 that you're bringing into a SONET add/drop mux and breaking out
STS-1 slots for DS3s or OC3/OC3c slots?
If you're talking about an OC12c, your choices would probably be:
Cisco 7600
Cisco 1
Cisco 12xxx
Juniper M-series - I think even an M5 could do an OC12c, though I'm not
sure.
Yes, a M5 has 4 slots each capable of OC12, GigE or lower speed
interfaces.
Other offerings by Riverstone, Avici and others that I'm not as familiar
with.
You can put an OC12c into a Cisco 7200/7500 *in theory* using an OC12c DPT
card, but the router will likely crap out long before you come close to
saturating the pipe.
