What would you suggest? I've looked into the Ascend GRF, and if it performs as much as they hype it (never trust a salesman) then it must be one kickbutt little router. My only question is who has some in a real world setup, doing BGP/OSPF/RIP? I tried talking to psi.net about their GRF switchover, and ended up with someone trying to sell me bandwidth.
I'm using the GRF-400. It has multiple 155M SDH ATM links in it, works like a dream... I'm awaiting an FDDI link in to the LINX and then it will be peering with around 25 other LINX members, so far in testing its done this with its eyes closed... # uname -a Ascend Embedded/OS the-count.router.COLT.NET 2.1 Ascend Embedded/OS GR TA1.3.5 Kernel #1 (nit): Wed Apr 23 07:59:43 CDT 1997 nit@bsd2.netstar.com:/nit/A1_3_5/BSDI/sys/compile/RMS i386 GateD-the-count.router.COLT.NET> show bgp peeras 6453 1GRF group type External AS 6453 local 8220 flags <> 1GRF Peer: 207.45.206.245 ID: 207.45.206.253 Version: 4 Gateway: (null) 1GRF Local ID: 195.110.64.2 1GRF Local Addr: 1GRF 207.45.206.246+1540 1GRF flags 0x20 1GRF state 0x6 <Established> 1GRF options 0x400001 <MetricOut MED> 1GRF group bit: 0 1GRF MED exported 1 1GRF proto-precedence/BGP preference 170/- 1GRF messages in 585246 (updates 573347, not updates 11899) 36927948 octets 1GRF messages out 11908 (updates 2, not updates 11906) 226348 octets 1GRF Last traffic (seconds): Received 17, Sent 44, Checked 44 1GRF Inbound Timer: 0 1GRF Outbound Timer: 0 1GRF Received and buffered Octets: 0 1GRF Active Holdtime: 180 1GRF Route Queue Timer: 1GRF unset 1GRF Route Queue: empty 1GRF Peer: 207.45.199.245 ID: 207.45.199.253 Version: 4 Gateway: (null) 1GRF Local ID: 195.110.64.2 1GRF Local Addr: 1GRF 207.45.199.246+179 1GRF flags 0x20 1GRF state 0x6 <Established> 1GRF options 0x400011 <MetricOut Preference MED> 1GRF group bit: 0 1GRF MED exported 2 1GRF proto-precedence/BGP preference 180/- 1GRF messages in 138687 (updates 136013, not updates 2674) 8658107 octets 1GRF messages out 2676 (updates 1, not updates 2675) 50891 octets 1GRF Last traffic (seconds): Received 16, Sent 18, Checked 18 1GRF Inbound Timer: 0 1GRF Outbound Timer: 0 1GRF Received and buffered Octets: 0 1GRF Active Holdtime: 180 1GRF Route Queue Timer: 1GRF unset 1GRF Route Queue: empty -- Neil J.
