-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Nanog: I am looking back into researching the many flavors of route reflectors, and would like everyone's opinions on what to use. I believe we have hashed through this in the past, but as these things move quickly, it might help to discuss the latest. I would like to consider both sides of the equation, using router based platforms, as well as PC or workstation type reflectors. I'm sure we all have pros and cons to either method. I'm trying to consider the entire range of reflectors, all at varying levels of cost. The gauntlet runs from free software that is entirely unsupported up to support contracts where a software developer will live with you. Just to add my thoughts: I'm leaning towards PC/Unix based reflectors just due to the cost of hardware, especially memory. It is much easier to have parallel and redundant workstations, than it is to have a carrier class router. Thanks for any help, Tony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQB1AwUBOl9PVpdSAaybdldZAQFZeAL+Jolh40KSPTKaroJi7BH8VEbfdrU3O7w5 pedJqbIe7kQuPSDD4XL0QgXYAKV3AJnKsJfvDYURxs/73ng0phzOVzIgRd0fTy2F MFbfyQIF9IGM2s150WZpC2bdSo17L/AL =j2cB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
