Self might take a look at the offerings included on www.extremenetworks.com as they appear to be competitive on all criteria listed in your message.
(Disclaimer, my evaluation is in early stages; I reserve the right to subsequently uncover a showstopper lack of functionality, but probably not performance. . .) As far as switches are concerned, Cisco appears a little too committed to the hardware architecture they bought to overcome your concerns at this time. "Ken Diliberto" @groupstudy.com on 01/03/2002 11:37:57 PM Please respond to "Ken Diliberto" Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Kevin Cullimore) Subject: Layer 3 switch [7:30885] I was asking myself, "Self, what is a good layer 3 switch?". Self didn't have a good answer other than the Cabletron Smart Switch Router (which I've used before). I couldn't think of a good offering by Cisco. I'm looking for something that can handle up to gig-ethernet. Something that supports BGP and OSPF. Any idea on price? Any thoughts or suggestions?
