RE: Cisco NCS5501 as a P Router

[John van Oppen]

We were looking at them for the same role as well, P router makes a lot of 
sense in places where the network comes together (for us often ahead of CMTS 
boxes etc) but routing is still required due to many paths being available.
We are using juniper ACX5000s for this as well currently.

P would be the position I'd be most comfortable with NCS5501.
Particularly BGP free core and Internet-in-VRF. Single control-plane does not 
seem problematic, usually design should allow any single core node to be taken 
out of service without customer impact.

Please talk to your account team about roadmap, what features are coming in 
which release in next 3 years. And ask them what are their plans with this IP

Managed VPN vendors

[Reed Loden]

Greetings,

I'm looking for vendors who can provide managed VPN services.

Key requirements:
* Users would be assigned their own globally-routable IP (or shared with a
small number of other users)
* Can QoS outgoing connectivity (or at least monitor it to prevent abuse)
* Split tunnel with only routes to specific netblocks/IPs (not
redirect-gateway)
* Egress IPs would need to be dedicated (as in, not shared with any other
customers or people)
* Ease of administration (adding/removing users) is key (preferably an API!)

My Google foo is weak on this (cannot find anything like what I'm looking
for), so hoping somebody can help me out or at least point me in the right
direction. So much of the search results are about using a VPN to hide your
IP and/or protect privacy, which isn't what I am looking for.

If you know of anything, please hit me up OOB. Thank you so much in advance!

There's also Eurafibre, I guess.

Altice is in the States and going public soon. They have been producing 
superior financial results. Appears to know how to run these cable networks 
better than the standard American management.

Hi Rod,

SFR (soon to be renamed Altice) and Orange for sure have metropolitan networks 
in Lille.

There might be others depending on your needs.

I think you can do this with either of Pktgen[1] or Moongen[2] which
both use DPDK.

Cheers,
