At the very least, you're making a big assumption here, and that is
that there are no EMS in charge of managing configurations and no
provisioning system to trigger and not triggering EMS configuration
management. In effect, service provisioning doesn't exist in what
you describe.
Being able to provision over point-and-clicks does not get away with the
rest of the configuration. I know you can do (depending on the EMS) a
certain types of security configurations. Personally, I haven't seen an
EMS capable of do a very good hardening of the configurations of DSLAMs
and CMTS's.
Btw, if you don't mind, please point out to me a large scale
deployment that actually has 10's of thousands of live customers on a
single DSLAM or which DSLAM you propose this is even physically
possible, as well as anticipated engineered bit rates for such a
deployment.
1) Point out? I know but I can't. This is a public list and I would get
fired if I discuss in public anything from a client with name. But
believe me when I say _it does_ exist.
2) Well with a over subscription you can do it on the Junipers E Series
(and I've seen it).
It is on the technical docs of the ESeries but you can also see it in
this URL: (http://www.thinkjuniper.net/isp/information.asp?page=239)
3) It is not a configuration I will ever recommend; but sometimes due to
budget restrictions of what a provider set to spend for the servicing of
a location, the provisioning division just "make it work" doing this.
