Does anyone here have experience with the APX1000? We just got one of these
beasts (to replace two AS5300's), and I need some help on OSPF
configurations (specifically, how to integrate it into our Cisco-based
network).
Thanks,

Hello all,
I'm faced with a difficult decision. I work for a large multi-node
regional ISP (and Cisco shop). In our largest nodes we've found the Cisco
7500 series routers to be at the end of their useful life due to the
throughput generated by POS OC-3 feeds and 10,000+ broadband users

Thanks Doug. Are those discussions available on the net? If so

Given that you are a Cisco shop and likely have a lot of OM money spent to
support that vendor I would suggest you look closely at the 7600's to
replace your 7500's. Great for low to medium density of port aggregation
and hence good $/port ratio.

But where to go? The Cisco GSR platform seems a logical choice, but
their new 7600 series units are attractive for their cost.
7600's have all the craptacularity of 6500 switches, because thats what
they are, I would reccomend against them.

I am hoping someone can shed some light on an interesting problem we are
having -
When we set up a customer for MLPPP, things tend to go well for a period
of time. Then - all of a sudden - we will begin to have problems with
our multilink bundles (generally only one at a time) and the only fix

the thought of someone considering building new pops of 7500s
still sends chills down my spine.
it should bring cheer. remember, alex's suggestion is made and
done by your competition.

It's been a while since I looked at Cisco ChDS3 PA
pricing in any serious detail, but as I recall they
were valued as though they were made of gold and

GSRs are useless if you are doing any kind of aggregation. Their traffic
shaping abilities are embarrassing.
7500 is the classic aggregator. They do the job quite well, actually.
Based on cost right now, I would take 10 7500s over 1 7600 anyday.
For transit, though, I would use a Juniper -

But, as everyone that uses both will tell you, it is better (at most
things).
They tend to be (in our experience) a set it and forget it thing,
while you can spend considerable time tweaking
