That really depends on what you consider “non-service affecting” .. I would argue that as long as customers can get out and customers can get into their public IPs, a 10-30 seconds of them not getting out, is fine. Finding products that store connections etc, and continues a download during the failure, gets real costly. Just my two cents, but I do understand your point of view.

So I am thinking whatever we use needs to be multiple units all running in parallel.

There are many things you can do with multiples of those types of units. Simple to do and failover can be easy if setup correctly.

It makes things a bit more complex, but it also means that if one of those boxes does happen to croak, you're only have to deal with a quarter of the subscribers going down instead of the whole works.

I guess 1,000 or so subscribers equals 26,000 or so connections. That's good to know. In this instance I have a private /21 NAT'd onto a public /28 with the ccr 1036 and have plenty of spare room on the CPU. Just an idea for Chuck's case, but the 1036 with 4 10G ports and 12 1G ports is only about $800 from Baltic. You could get 4 of those for your 8,000 user load and have 4 hot spares in the rack. Assign a private /21 to each unit. You could create a LAG for the 4 10G ports to get a 40G uplink.
