Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new router to connect our data center to our tier 1 ISP via a 50mbps fibre link. Does anyone have any advice about what level of Cisco router would be required to saturate this link? We're looking at the 2811 but I can't get any real world data about whether it can route packets at 50mbps - this seems doubtful although unclear from the information on the Cisco data sheets. (I'm aware that a cheap PC running Linux could provide similar throughput to a $20000 Cisco router but for a variety of reasons I'm reluctant to follow this path). Thanks, Alex
