How are you aggregating WAN customers these days?

We used that topology, with an Adtran MX 2800 19" rack version. We
would take our channelize DS-3 from the Telco and the Cisco PA-MC2T3
cards and in turn wire those to a DSX-1 panel. We then did 1 to 1 DS1
X-connects on the panel. That was starting to get too much of a pain as
services grew, so we went with a DACS and that took care of having to do
all that DSX-1 wiring. Ugh.

The ASRs seem to be the consensus in a lot of places. Wondering if
anyone has tried anything like aggregating T1 customers onto a mux
box, then connecting that back to a 6500.

I work in that kind of topology all day long/ both in 6500 & ASR's.
All is well/

Hello,

I'm looking to put some feelers out there and see what people are
doing to aggregate WAN customers (T1,T3, etc...) these days. What
platforms/devices are you using? What seems to be working/not working?
Any insights would be great!

Thanks,

Chris
