Has anyone compared the figures or have any feelings regarding the Bay Networks BCN ?? We are considering one over a Cisco 7513/RSP4 or a GRF. Bay claims to hold the entire Internet routing table in just 4-6MB RAM per BGP peer (I assume this is after convergence). They say that the method in which they do this is proprietary. I am just wondering if it is possible..... TIA Paul...

Tolly's report didn't use CEF/FIB switching, and used classical (centralized) switching. Ascend paid Tolly for the test anyway--the only *true* test would be one from Data Communications or similar.
