Please let me know when your Linux box is capable of doing line rate forwarding on an OC-192.
I actually saw a Linux box capable of doing this. It was on IBM S/390 hardware. Admitedly, that would be a waste of horsepower. OC-192 is far to slow to keep that box busy.
.. actually, if only the PCI bus were faster, I'm sure someone could build a GigE linerate router running under FreeBSD or Linux. OC192 would probably want something a little more dedicated than a PCI bus. But then, thats what a Juniper is for, right? :-) Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "Two hundred and thirty-three thousand <adrian@creative.net.au> times the speed of light. Dear holy <censored>."
