Hi David, We run two Bigiron 4000's with an Ironcore management 4 blade. We do about 100mbps through 2 transits, partial transit and a couple of peers on our local IX. It does the job, but when facing a DoS (from the inside) the cpu goes up to 100% which makes our network nearly unreachable. Also acl's don't do well.. We consider upgrading to a JetCore based Bigiron 4000, which has more cpu power and supports stuff like sFlow. a complete Ironcore mgmt4 system goes for about $3000,- on Ebay these days, Jetcore based equivalent for about $7000,- Best, - Jeroen
