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. -W
