Re: [c-nsp] Multiprotocol BGP with Cisco

not sure on the practicality of implementing such a mechanism, as it would perhaps depend on how the FIB is implemented. I cannot, however, see a reason why it would not be possible to implement this, theoretically. Kind regards, Rob -- Rob Shakir r...@eng.gxn.net Network

Re: [c-nsp] Dynamic TCAM allocation/optimization? (was Re: N7K tcam handling)

put together a strict statement of requirements and get Cisco to demonstrate that the card meets your demands before you go forward. The 7600 platform can have a nasty habit of biting you back. I can probably share more details of the ES off-list if you need them! Cheers, Rob -- Rob Shakir
