This is what I beleave sprint is doing. They are using the new Cisco 12000 GSR with external router servers. It is a smart way of patching the problem. If you need more CPU or memory you can just add a bigger box and more RAM.
The GSRs are to move bits fast. They are not to act as route servers.
Sprint recently announced that they are deploying 622Mbps POS cross-country links, and the GSRs are the only things you can put on the ends of such beasts that are available today.
The GRF has an 622M card for it. -- Neil J. McRae. Alive and Kicking. Domino: In the glow of the night. neil@DOMINO.ORG NetBSD/sparc: 100% SpF (Solaris protection Factor) Free the daemon in your <A HREF="http://www.NetBSD.ORG/">computer!</A>
