Good point about the full feed. If you don't need a full feed, a C3560G running an IP Services image can give you wire speed forwarding[0] at a relatively low price point. It can only handle ~10k routes though. And the processor is weak, so you would want the upstream to filter what they send instead of filtering all by yourself. -- Peter [0]: The usual "caveat emptor" regarding buffers on the 3560. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
