Why? 300 routes on a 3560 is nothing. I've done around 1300 routes and 2-3 BGP peers on a 3550. 20 peers seems like maybe a lot, but as long as they're all reasonably stable, I suspect it'd work and be much cheaper than a 7201. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
