Hi guys,
I lost my "beloved" RB1000 the other day due to fan failure and it's
time to start considering what I should replace it with (and what to
stock a spare of).
This will be a router for my company (not a WISP). Our internet feed is
50Mb and on average, I would say there is no more than 25-30Mbit being
pushed through the unit, however I did notice a huge performance hit
when I plopped in my temporary RB750 to get my internet connection back
up and running. I don't run much in the way of simple queues other than
Butch's QoS script. I have a handful of firewall rules dictating which
subnets can talk to who. The router also has an EoIP tunnel to another
router for failover and acts as a PPTP VPN server.
I'm looking for something that will offer similar performance to what my
RB1000 provided me. Port count isn't critical, but I'd like at least 3
and they have to be gigabit. I'm not overly concerned about rackmount or
not as I have a shelf I could set the unit on. By far the most critical
piece though has to be stability - both in the platform itself and
ethernet performance.
So far, I've been looking at the RB450G, the RB1200 and the RB800. I've
looked at a few of the x86 boards, but I believe these might be overkill
for my particular application.
What do you guys think?
