Good to know in advance that the 2600 doesn't have a lot of horsepower for this kind of work.
What's a good IPv6-based speed test site I can to test against? Maybe I'll have to resort to iperf, if it's IPv6 ready.

This is a bit tight. On my good old 4700M, the "BGP router" process, which is carrying all of IPv6, needs 6.5 Mbyte of RAM. 64 Mb total, 17 Mb free. *But*: "12.3 IP Plus" IOS for 2600 will likely eat much more RAM to start with, so it might already be tight. > I am planning to use this > box for an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunneling appliance, but not sure if it can hold the > whole table. ... and that will be a bigger problem. The 2600 is *slow*, so chances are you won't be able to tunnel enough IPv6 through it to even satisfy a single 16M ADSL link... and you won't be happy with "proof-of-existance- but quite slow" IPv6. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
