Re: CIDR FAQ

Let's excuse the fact that gated consumes more memory than a cisco for the same amount of routes for a second...

HA HA HA HA. Sorry, had to laugh. Is my PCI Pentium limited to 64Mb RAM and can only carry ~30k routes? No. Neither is your 7000. ;-) Wherever you got your numbers from, they're wrong. For a T1 line or Ethernet, especially locally in the US (not here) the cost of the router *outweighs* the cost of the line, and so commercial decisions will be made based on router cost. For a T1, perhaps the monthly charge, but over the lifetime of the line, I don't believe this. Tony
