Thanks Charles - Ill check out the BSD/link....their seems to be very few "other" options out there...our 7200's worked nicely in this role, we are only doing ~2-3000 tails....but to do the same on an ASR1K....whoa! price is a killer.
Thanks again for the link/info. ________________________________________ From: Charles Sprickman <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 22 May 2016 10:48 AM To: CiscoNSP List Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] LNS Alternatives > On May 21, 2016, at 8:32 PM, CiscoNSP List <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > > We have around 5 POPs that need to terminate DSL tails, so require LNS - > historically, we have done this on 7200's, now with 7200 basically EOLd, we > are looking at the ASR1K's, but the broadband licensing on them is heinously > expensive...Just wondering what others are using as an alternative?

Vaguely OT, but FreeBSD with mpd5 seems to be a common option for this. I would imagine if you could fit all your users on a 7200, you could terminate at least that many on a current generation server.
