I bought a Riverstone Rs-3000 for BGP with a single upstream provider. Great Deal.

Yeah, it might be a Great Deal (tm), but you're in for some surprises. I've seen an RS-8600 (with CM3 and 512MB on board) nearly melt under 13Mbps of Nachi, to the point that I had to set the CM failover keepalive timer to >30 seconds.

This should come as no surprise - the Riverstone boxes are flow-based. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
