Not fast enough when you're talking about OC3s ;-).

Gated doesn't have to be faster when the router is routing OC3s than when it's routing 56ks...
I assume that the mondo-routers have a switching engine, and the only job of the main CPU/gated combo is to feed the current idea of the best next-hop/interface to the engine.

This is true. But show me a model in which this works and which can update that forwarding table 20x/second (at full load WHILE switching packets). That's what Netstar claims. CISCO can't even *dream* of getting close to this level of performance. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1 from $600 monthly; speeds to DS-3 available | 23 Chicagoland Prefixes, 13 ISDN, much more Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1] | Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.net/ Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | Home of Chicago's only FULL Clarinet feed!
