Another reason why some people are thinking that workstations and generic micros sometimes look pretty good as replacements for "real" routers.
You get software that works, full source code, faster CPUs, and fewer memory limitations. At a cost low enough to get a "free" spare.
Look, I really hate to sound like I have sour grapes, but this thread keeps coming up and I all hear about the PC router issue is a lot of talk about price and CPUs, but I don't actually hear any operational experience about them.
Well we are going to use a PC router if all works out for our MAE-East connection. But we do have a cisco 4500-M if it des not work out. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
