Hi, the best is to have the cs/dsu embedded in the router interface. The exact model of interface then varies from router model and application.

Hi, there is no benchmark, each customer buys something different from the small 857/adsl to huge router/switches with optical interfaces. All depends by application, profile and budget.

To learn about routers, go into the documentation and read. It's all explained in there.
