What is CPU power of today's core routers? What's memory? Compare with junk-yard server - 2 x 1.4Ggz CPU, 4 GB RAM, total price about $1.5K. Routers have 3 - 10 times reserve _today_ . Then, you can always sacrify reaction time a little. Reserves are tremendous in this area. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Bush" <randy@psg.com> To: "Alexei Roudnev" <alex@relcom.net> Cc: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 1:23 PM Subject: Re: OMB: IPv6 by June 2008
Is it a pproblem keeping 500,000 routess in core routers? Of course, it is not (it was in 1996, but it is not in 2005
really? we have not seen this so how do you know? and it will be fine with churn and pushing 300k forwarding entries into the fibs on a well-known vendor's line cards?
