For a few more months. What are upgrade cycles like again? How common are the MSFC2s?
I think we'll find out in a few months, when the "internet breaks" in a whole bunch of places where the admins aren't aware of this issue or operations have been downsized to the point that things are mostly on auto-pilot. I'm guessing there are a good number of Sup2's in use, and that a good % of them think they're fine...as they have 512MB RAM and on the software based routers, that's plenty for current full BGP routes. Anyone want to bet there will be people posting to nanog and cisco-nsp in a few months asking why either the CPU load on their Sup2's has suddenly shot up or why they keep noticing parts of the internet have gone unreachable?...oblivious to this thread. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
