Ascend/Netstar GRF 400

Is anyone successfuly using one of these? I've got one in the labs
here, and have found some interesting problems. Ascend engineers
are hot on the problems, but I was wondering if anyone else has any
experience.

Our current problems seem to be related to buffer overruns on the
ATM/Q card.

Yes, our network is now cisco free! We have been using the GRF1600s for
several months in our network. We have found a few problems, but Ascend
has been VERY fast to fix them. So far they blow away the Cisco solution
we were using.

Our current problems seem to be related to buffer overruns on the
ATM/Q card.

We have not used the ATM/Q card a lot, but I am sure Ascend can fix any
problem you may have. We are using cascade 900s as backbone switches into
the GRF 1600s via HSSI. We plan to move this to OC3 as soon as we finish
testing.
