Packetfront/Waystream gear

Does anyone have experience running Packetfront hardware in a production network? We've looked at a few and they seem to be pretty good but I want to know if they have downsides.

We're looking at them for edge switches now and thinking about if they can be site routers or switches (either a q-in-q vlan handoff to a ring or a separate L3 with routing protocols depending on how the site is accessed)

You can contact me offlist if you don't want to talk about it publicly.

Thanks,
Robert

Their products seem to be named 'MPC' or 'ASR,' reminds me of J and C respectively.

Very unique way of naming things, I must say.

PacketFront/Waystream actually owns the ASR trademark.

We got quite surprised when Cisco released their ASR routers....
