Re: Mikrotik & OC-3 Connection
In terms of FOSS routing platforms, I think Vyatta has a better user interface than Mikrotik. IMHO if the CLI is awkward then there a higher risk of misconfiguration. I haven't used either enough to comment about stability. Jonathon.

...not that I'd like to revert this to Mikrotic vs _vendor_, but *all* Mikrotic-specific hardware that we have deployed has always accepted a custom install of FreeBSD & Quagga, that boots directly from the same type of media that the Mikrotic OS originally came on. fwiw, the Quagga interface is very friendly to those who know Cisco.

Hello, all. I am not sure is it suitable or not that I ask this question here. My question is about "Tilera", a new multi-core processor provider, however, they call themselves "Many-Core" to separate from RMI, Cavium, etc. Tilera claims that their processor have a 2D mesh so they can put more Cores(from 36,64 to 1K) in one Chip, while Cavium only with 1D bus, so Tilera think they have a much higher performance. My question is: 1 Is it true that Tilera revolutionarily improve the performance of multi-core(or Many-core) processor? 2 If you make the choice between Tilera and Cavium, what do you prefer? Why? Devin. BTW, its website is http://www.tilera.com/
There's been plenty of "multi-dimensional" processor interconnects over the years. You should do some further research. :) Adrian (hypercube-connected O2000, anyone?) On Tue, Jul 06, 2010, ?????? wrote:

The original poster totally failed to answer the single biggest unasked question - "What problem are you trying to solve with a Tilera?". There's large classes of problems that will run much better on a Tilera chipset. And there's plenty of workloads that will totally suck on that hardware. 1K cores on a chip. All hanging off one memory interconnect. I think that about says it all right there.

No thanks, I got like a half dozen of their ilk already.
Thank you. :) -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Chadd [mailto:adrian@creative.net.au] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 5:09 PM To: ??????
