We're getting a xedia box in within the next week or so on demo. After internal testing, I'll be happy to set it up as a test bed to answer everyone's questions on the list, and will probably be able to set up some kind of demo for anyone who wants to look at statistics, cpu, etc. On Mon, 26 Oct 1998, Jon Zeeff wrote:
I'd like to see more products using ISL, allowing them to act as virtual interfaces on a full blown router. Ie, provide lots of inexpensive interfaces but let routers handle the routing complexity.
Can anyone please relate their experiences using this router in an e-bgp environment (# of full views, # of peers, interoperability with cisco's, etc)?
Well, they don't have a high number of ports...mine is a single hssi, single fe, so you're only dealing with a few views at most. We've got a full eBGP view from uu.net on it, as well as an iBGP peer with our cisco taking our other connections. It handles it quite well...never seems to have broken a sweat CPU-wise that I can tell.
does xedia have all the bgp knobs such as communities, filtering, route-map like functions, and all?
