Title: RE: [swinog] Experiences with Foundry Bigiron-gear If you want Routing get a Juniper. But only if you don't need else anything besides that... MPLS is a big hassle athough it works somehow, QoS is quite unusable on Junipers... So yes, just plain routing with no features

Jeroen Massar adds to the unfounded router/switch FUD: If you are desperatly still wanting anything from Foundry then indeed go for a NetIron, this is what AMS-IX uses. But do note, they don't do routing. What do you mean they don't do routing? I already conceded that Real Men don't call them

Hello colleagues, At the moment we're using Cisco 12000 gear in our network and now I'd like to buy another router in order to increase our redundancy. Another provided pointed at his foundry bigiron 8000 and told me how well it is running. Okay.. What he didn't know where the technical facts

BigIron is a Switch - not a router... O.k. - maybe Foundry says, it's a router. But when you try to do some advanced routing on that box - forget it... That's my experience with those things - you might hear other... Cheers, Viktor On Mittwoch 01 Dezember 2004 12.05, Gunther Stammwitz wrote:

It's a switch not a router IMO. If you want a router talk to Juniper. Neil. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gunther Stammwitz Sent: 01 December 2004 11:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [swinog] Experiences with Foundry Bigiron
