Re: sell shell accounts?

Uh, yes. Like today.

See NetStar (recently acquired by ASCEND).

Their hardware does nothing *slower* than DS-3 right now, and updates the route forwarding table 20x/second. :-)

This thing is a monster, and will make the so-called "state of the art" 7513s look like dogmeat when in full production (presuming the BGP issues get completely resolved).

Coming soon to a network near you.

What's the matter, Karl, don't like gated for running BGP? Avi
