I know that these boxes work well, theoretically, but I really want to know
if any major ISP is using gigarouters on their core.
Another issue is, if I have 30 ATM PVC�s over an OC-12 interface, how
well this box will treat , it will provide QoS for all the PVC�s without
impact the other services?

Just go to the venders home pages, I sure they have archives of press
releases that will tell you On Thu, 15 Oct 1998, Rogerio Alvarez - DRS23

Are you referring to ascend's old netstar version called 'gigarouter' or
the general terminology for a gigabit router? If you are talking about
ascend's gigarouter, they are now known as 'GRFs' and have several
different models capable of a wide range of performance.
The ascend version ATM OC-12 Cards will support 512 VPI/VCI's mapped over
each port, and we've recently seen routers that have ~60 sessions mapped
across them.
