Roland, The only issue I have I with your reply is that is somehow still acceptable to not have these features in a core device. -jim ------Original Message------ From: Roland Dobbins To: NANOG list Subject: Re: Cisco 7600 (7609) as a core BGP router.

We use the 7600 platform as a Customer Border device.
The 7600 is actually quite a poor choice as an edge device (any edge) due to its caveats regarding NetFlow, ACLs, and uRPF. It's far better suited to a core role, where it can handle mpps running without the need for these critical edge features. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Unfortunately, inefficiency scales really well. -- Kevin Lawton Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network
