I just skimmed through that, and i wonder if it's still current. There's some talk about requiring about 128MB of memory, and budget concerns of smaller ISPs. Now, even expensive FB-DIMM memory by vendors like HP and IBM only costs around 360 CHF for 4 GB. And even small two way x86 boxes max out at around 32 - 48 GB. Even if Cisco and Juniper charge 10x as much, that'd still be only 3600 CHF. I understand that routers use ASICs and probably faster memory than servers, but i can't really imagine it to be a problem to pop 4GB memory into a router that's connected directly to the internet. Now, where am i mistaken? -- Read my blog at http://projectdream.org _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list [email protected] http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
