a PowerRouter at http://www.mikrotikrouter.com can handle several hundred meg without issues.

Before I get taken for a ride by salespeople, I figured it would be best to ask the experts of Nanog....
My company is currently in talks to bring an ethernet circuit into our headquarters, initially committing around 40Mbps. The ISP will be providing ethernet handoff, but I do not want their managed router offering (Adtran 4430) since it is pricey, non-redundant and I'd rather manage it myself. My question is about hardware. Can I assume that I can use something
Actually, the latest version 5 adds IP6 over PPP, I don't know where you got that they are not capable of routing IPv6. Just have to install the V6 package. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, CCNA, Mikrotik Certified Trainer, MTCNA, MTCRE, MTCWE, MTCTCE, MTCUME Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training - Author of "Learn RouterOS" -----Original Message----- From: Owen DeLong [mailto:owen@delong.com] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 8:42 PM To: Dennis Burgess Cc: Jeffrey Negro; nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Router for Metro Ethernet Yes, but, according to the Mikrotik web site they appear to be obsolete and incapable of routing IPv6.

a Cisco 2000 series router with two built in fast/gig ethernet ports, without a WIC? and since both sides are ethernet would the routing throughput be near fast ethernet speed? This is my first dealing with metro ethernet offerings, and I don't want to assume that the Cisco throughput rates listed for T1/ADSL etc. are the same for a metro ethernet as the WAN.
Any and all suggestions on the hardware would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
