It looks like a great router for small ISPs (great price, large packet buffers, good port selection, meaningful hardware routes). That said, it looks to be right on the border of DFZ viability. It supports "over 1M" routes, but I currently have about 1,036,824 in my route table. How much over is "over"? What happens in EOS when it goes over? What's the "next best" box for that role? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/TAVU4T2A3CTV2KIV42DVI6AGAP23FJ2N/ _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/GGKFPLDWLLM6SEL7M7TYCNSMZ3OSMWYA/
