Our current backbone told me that it would be difficult to get full BGP running on our router: a Cisco 7010. RAM is not a problem, we can bump it up to 64M in a moment's notice. Suggest you get your backbone to fire whomever told you that. From a BGP perspective, the 7010 and the 7000 are identical. It will be sufficient for a while (time TBD depending on net conditions). Also, one newbie-type question, our current backbone said that they "may not" pass traffic routed via backbone #2. If I am running full BGP between both backbones, what would the technical limitations be of passing traffic between all three sites (Backbone A, Me, and Backbone B)? You _could_ technically, provide transit between the two backbones in this situation. It sounds like your current backbone does not want that. Wholly understandable. You should configure your BGP to only advertise your routes to both backbones. Any BGP gods out there for hire on a consultant basis? :-) How much money do you have? ;-) Tony
