I like cisco too, but I'd really prefer that Bay, 3Com, or Netstar were on par w/ cisco and forced them to do things better. As it is, they seem to stagnate from lack of competition...
Yes. This is key.
Give me something with a command line interface; as many options for controlling OSPF and BGP; completely interoperable OSPF and BGP w/ Ciscos, using the same algorithms for route selection; and I'll consider it and perhaps buy some. And moreover, add there a lot of people familiar with this routers over the whole world.
I know somebody there who works with BAY, they hate this routers. --- Aleksei Roudnev, Network Operations Center, Relcom, Moscow (+7 095) 194-19-95 (Network Operations Center Hot Line),(+7 095) 239-10-10, N 13729 (pager) (+7 095) 196-72-12 (Support), (+7 095) 194-33-28 (Fax)
