I've used stand alone and production routers as reflectors at various times of my life. I prefer dedicated boxes so that I can keep the control plane from stealing CPU cycles from the production equipment. I'm not sure where size would start dictating that dedicated gear is a better idea. Dedicated routers or servers (running bird, or somesuch) are easy enough to come by now. 10+ years ago the choices were a little more limited. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
