RFC 1771 says in part: The hosts executing the Border Gateway Protocol need not be routers. A non-routing host could exchange routing information with routers via EGP or even an interior routing protocol. That non-routing host could then use BGP to exchange routing information with a border router in another Autonomous System. The implications and applications of this architecture are for further study. Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with (or thoughts about) this approach? Given that 64 MB of RAM for routing tables woudl cost only around $2,000, this seems like a totally sensible way to build a small, multi-homed AS. Will finding a vendor-supported system for this be ... difficult? (I'm not exactly sure whether a BSD box running Cornell GateD counts as "vendor-supported". ;-) -- Sean Shapira sds@jazzie.com +1 206 443 2028 <a href="http://www.jazzie.com/sds/">Sean's Home Page</a> Serving the Net since 1990.
