When this platform first launched last year, I was very keen on deploying it for FTTH scenarios; basically because it has good port density, can be priced well for large scale deployments, and I'm a believer in Active-E and less on GPON. We had a call with the BU on this platform to clarify all the questions you've asked, and more, and as of February this year, the platform is still wanting. There are various limitations that may never be fixed (particularly for QoS) since the silicon in this box is not Cisco-internal, but off-the-shelf (Broadcom). This will hurt, but that said, it is good that you can pull off a reasonable amount of QoS on the box itself, meaning that it is now possible to enforce contract right at the customer port on the AN in a profiled manner, as opposed to having to do this on the BRAS upstream. My requirements for the deployment have been delayed a bit, so I haven't caught up on the queries we had. But the best advice I can give is for you to work with the BU on what you need. Mark.
