Rogerio, I haven't the need for that kind of hardware so I haven't checked into it, so forgive me if this is a stupid question with a well known answer. But, why are these not true giga class routers? David A.

Hi.

Anyone there has any information (experience) about Gigarouters like GRF1600 (Ascend) or GSR12000 (Cisco).

I want to know performance, availability, scalability and limitations data in "real world", I mean in real condition of internet traffic.

Thanks in advance.

Rogerio
