Sorry. Does all this discussion mean that new big Ascend's routers are/was?/will be?/ based on gated's experience?
As for me, it's important.
We are planing on building our network out of Netstars and Cascade 9000s, so it it is important for us to know if this box is stable. Yes it does run gated, and I think the work netstar has put into it has made it very stable, and in many ways better then IOS. We have tested the netstar box and are very happy with it, but I am not sure it is ready to replace the cisco. One thing we will do is have the netstar peer with two router servers in each POP, the route servers will then peer with all the other RS in the other POPs. This should take a lot of the BGP load off the netstar because that is our biggest worry. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
