Hello Nikos,
Thanks for your answer.

Because the customers are permanently On-Line du to the VoIP-Telephone,
we count with the full number of clients...
The distance between the FTTH DSLAM and the customers can be up to 10km.
The idea is now, that we do not simply connect the FTTH DSLAM's to the
CISCO switches but building a redunant Ethernet Carrier Network.
This mean, we can install in each village there own FTTH DSLAM even if
there are 2500 hausholds and we install 26 FTTH DSLAM's there.
This mean in theorie 250 GBit Customer Downstream, 26 Gbit Upstream but
we count with a 10 GE which is maybe used to 30-50%.
OK, if we switch to an "Ethernet Carrier Network" I could install one or
two PPPoE Servers in each village. But if one goes down, the second has
to handel 2500 client connections.
Note: This is ONLY the base installation between Kehl, Rheinau,
Renchen and Oberkirch (arround 35.000 hausholds) and the
whole region has 150.000 hausholds.

Thankyo for the link, I will red on if I am in Office...

It depends on how many customers you have and with an Internet access of
100 Mbit plus services like IPTV and VOD you can fill up a 10 GE pipe.

You mean, putting a bunch of small 1U Servers into a 19" 42RU?

Can you recomment it for an ISP setup?
Hmmm, I am right, that NanoBSD can be bootup over network?
(this would be another solution)
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
