Basically the organisation that I'm working for will not have the skills in house to support a linux or bsd box. They will have trouble with supporting the BGP configuration, however I don't think they will be happy with me if I leave them with a linux box when they don't have linux/unix resource internally. At least with a Cisco or Juniper they are familiar with IOS and it won't be too foreign to them. On Sun 11:30 PM , "Renato Frederick" <frederick@dahype.org> wrote:

I'm asking this because I'm always running BGP with upstreams providers using quagga on BSD and everything is fine until now.

So if my requirements are as follows:

go for partial or full, I think I want something with full capability).

- Capable of pushing 100meg plus of mixed traffic.

What are my options? I want to exclude openbsd, or linux with quagga. Probably looking at Cisco or Juniper products, but interested in any other alternatives people suggest. I realise this is quite a broad question, but hoping this will provide a starting point. Oh and if I have missed any specs I should have included above, please let me know.

Thanks
