Hi, just a quickie (respond via e-mail, I'll summarize to the list)...
Need to build a core NSP backbone.
Who's equipment do I want:
Like this is a question?
You don't want Bay and you certainly don't want 3Com. If your network is fairly slow (ethernets and T1s only) you can use PCs running a reasonable BSD and GateD. Otherwise, the only commercial choice is Cisco.
Wait.. a Bay BCN will push 1 Gb/s through the box, but you are recommending a PC running GateD over a Bay router? If you are going to tell people "don't use this" a least give some reasons why to justify it. -Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Jon Green * "Life's a dance * * jcgreen@netINS.net * you learn as you go" * * Finger for Geek Code/PGP * * * #include "std_disclaimer.h" * http://www.netins.net/showcase/jcgreen * -------------------------------------------------------------------------
