---------- : From: Vadim Antonov <avg@pluris.com> : Seriously, the load-sensitive traffic management _can_ be done, : but to do it you a) need full knowledge of the load patterns, : plus some historical data, and b) have a way to control system : in steps less drastic than rerouting an entire flow. : : Can't be done with ciscos, or any existing routers... : : --vadim Not true... 3Com's Internet Backbone class router will do it! Well, someday it will, maybe, if that's what we really want, it could... perhaps. Tine Hutchison Network Engineer Interaccess Co. tine@interaccess.com 312/496-4653
