RE: perf #s for GRF vs 7500 Re: Anyone Deployed Ascend's GRF IP S witch?
Has anyone compared the figures or have any feelings regarding the Bay Networks BCN ?? We are considering one over a Cisco 7513/RSP4 or a GRF. Bay claims to hold the entire Internet routing table in just 4-6MB RAM per BGP peer (I assume this is after convergence). They say that the method in which they do this is proprietary. I am just wondering if it is possible..... TIA Paul...

Tolly's report didn't use CEF/FIB switching, and used classical (centralized) switching. Ascend paid Tolly for the test anyway--the only *true* test would be one from Data Communications or similar.

Working on it, got my Bay in yesterday. Will take the electrical people a few days to get a 240 Volt 20 AMP connection to it.

Bay is doing some vary interesting stuff, They clam to have the 7500 and GRF beat hands down. We just got our new lab up with 7500 RSP4 VIP2, GRF 400, GRF 1600, and Bay. It will be vary interesting to see who wins. I have my money on the GRF, but we shall see.
