The limits are hard limits for the max number of sessions and tunnels. The
LNS terminates L2TP with virtual ports which is a fixed number.
>>The PM4 can handle 500 Sessions per LNS card.
This is true the LNS card, which is just like a Quad-T1 (just without line
ports and without modems), will terminate upto 500 sessions.
The Quad-T1 will support upto 94 L2TP sessions.
NOTE: The PM4 as a whole can support upto 100 tunnels. So the session
limit is card by card, while the tunnel limit is by chassis.

The limit is basically a number that was pulled out of the air.
>>You can put 9 LNS cards in each PM4 causing it to handle 4500 Sessions.
Yes.

The backup SMM feature will be available in a future release, but not in
the next open beta of the PM4.
