Sorry to answer my own post but I should also mention that if I ever have a larger enterprise client (like a college, hospital, etc.) that needs a bullet-proof routing solution I will likely sell them Imagestream. My next big router for my core will be an Imagestream. Everyone I speak to about

The best at any price doesn't seem to fit here. You only choose a commodity router to save money. I don't know anything about Imagestream specifically, but I certainly looked into Linux-based routers. In fact, we even ran Linux-based routers initially before going Cisco. We didn't blindly go

All of our system routers are MikroTik OS on PC hardware. As well as our T1 interfaces. We are rapidly moving to deploying a small MikroTik at our towers as well. As to customer routers, we tend to use Netgear. But, if the customer provides another unit, we will set that up for them. David
