Gary-GSR/OC-48 Although Cisco has publicly announced that OC-48 would be available for the GSR in July 98 and OC-48c would be available Q1'99, neither card is on the price list. Does Cisco deliver products to customers before they hit the price list? That seems a little backwards. I doubt that there are any GSR's deployed in production networks with OC-48 - which is what your message implied.

Gary, IN just came across this post from ASND thread. He is a mechanical engineer. He is ridiculing GSR 12000. Interesting. Here it is, <- Previous Message 20295 of 20323 Reply my mistake fugmulch (999/somewhere in the middle of somewhere else) Aug 17 1998 7:54AM EDT I do have to correct myself, there is no OC interface for the 8000/9000 product line, I was wrong and admit it. But there is an OC-48 for the GX-550. Ascend has never promised an OC-48 interface in the CBX500, as far as I know. But to re-iterate, no-one has OC-48, Ascend is the closest, they have had it up and running in trials, Ascend will be the first to hit production. As for the Cisco 12000, it is a hulking monstrosity, I am a mechanical engineer and I would be embarrased to let that thing be shown in public if I had designed it. da Fug
