Also realize that you can build a PC router with multiple OC3 and GE ports, loads of memory and faster processor(s) for less than 1/2 the cost of the 7206 chassis naked. Ours has been more stable that the Cisco gear (72xx and 75xx) it is connected to.

Care to share your hardware configuration? Motherboard, CPU, sync serial cards, gated/zebra?

I don't do sync serial on anything. As result, I don't know much about the sync serial devices that are available. Gigabyte MB (Don't remember the exact model) 256M PC100 memory PIII 450 (I believe. It might be a 500. Don't remember.) ForeRunner 200E OC3 cards Netgear GA620 GigaE cards DLINK DFE570TX 4-port FastE cards Redhat Linux ATM-0.78 http://icawww1.epfl.ch/linux-atm/dist.html Zebra 0.89 http://www.zebra.org I have built 6 linux routers either for use in our network or for customers who couldn't afford Cisco or Juniper gear. They're all BGP speakers with an average of 90K prefixes and 3 peers. Here is the output of sh ip bgp sum on one of these routers: Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd x.x.x.x 4 yyyy 304589 8790 0 0 0 6d01h26m 89361 x.x.x.x 4 yyyyy 9739 8861 0 0 0 6d01h23m 147 x.x.x.x 4 yyyyy 9716 8862 0 0 0 6d01h23m 147 x.x.x.x 4+ yyyy 472016 8750 0 0 0 5d21h16m 88387 x.x.x.x 4+ yyyyy 8792 8849 0 0 0 3d09h08m 2 x.x.x.x 4 yyyyy 8780 8840 0 0 0 6d01h25m 1 x.x.x.x 4 yyyyy 8780 8803 0 0 0 6d01h27m 9 --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
