One of my rare top posts. I'm not really addressing point by point the issues below. For some guidance though here is my situation:
I have two 5501s (one is a warm stand-by) doing BGP routing for a hosting service. They feed an IPv4 /21 and an IPv6 /32. Each has an added four port card which has SIS ethernet ports as opposed to the on-board VRs. All of our upstream transits and peers are 100Mb/s links and we are happily routing with peaks around 35Mb/s. If that unit wedged, we would hear about it from the clients nearly as fast as the alerts from the monitoring system. It's no Google but it does show that you can get plenty of traffic through a lightweight router. It's running OpenBSD.

Thankyou. Rod/ --- This life is not the real thing. It is not even in Beta. If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
