Okay, I'll bite. Situation: If Joe Bob's WebHosting Has a frac ti to provider A and a Frac t1 to Provider B. Both provider's are providing their own CPE's, and Joe Bob has convinced them to run BGP with him. Both Isp's want him to peer to one of there Distribution layer routers via ebgp muilthop.
Assuming JoeBob only accepts the bgp default routes, why should he not use a 160x in this situation? More realistic situation: JoeBob's company uses vpn services on a cisco 17xx, the 160xs cousin. They implement bgp to their Isp's, because the VPN connection needs to be there if one of the ISP's fail. Assuming JoeBob only accepts the bgp default routes, why should he not use a 17xx in this situation? I agree that every router is limited in what it can do and how much traffic it can handle. I do not agree that we should arbitrarily dismiss certain models of routers without considering the actual need. -ejay -----Original Message----- From: Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 12:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Hardware BGP?
