Yep, and the A-Lu 7750 SR as well, speaking of which they have a
decent paper on this topic too, although it is a couple years old now:

One tasty tid-bit considering the topic at hand: "The biggest
challenge with LSN is managing the address space between the customer
gateway and LSN, as well as ensuring consistent Internet application
behavior. There is a stated desire from service providers to support
existing IPv4 customer gateways, and because of restrictions imposed
by these legacy devices address space that does not overlap or collide
with the carrier must be found."

I assume most other players in this space have gear as well, or have
it in the works.
