It has been a long time since I have seen this thread hashed out, so I figured I'd bring it up publicly.
Is anyone comfortable using (in a network with > 5 routers) any non-Cisco or non-Juniper routers for BGP speaking? (Zebra/Gated boxes only count if customer traffic is carried through the device).
I'm currently running Ciscos at the edge, but Extremes in the core for our datacenter hosting - iBGP only, mind. The Extremes are a little odd, in that one refuses to talk BGP at all (!) but other than that I've not had any real problems. Unless I had a specific reason not to use "known kit" (read: Juniper or Cisco) at the edge, I'd probably stick with the usual - but that's more out of familiarity than genuine worries. -- Patrick Evans, allegedly Email: pre@pre.org CV: no longer required Wheels: Kawasaki ZXR400L9 (stolen), Bandit 1200 (replacement, pending)
