At some point, you hit the PC's architecture limitations, particularly on the PCI bus. Two main problems : latency and bandwidth. If you're talking about a few hundred Mbits, you should be ok with fairly standard hardware. If you're expecting full gigabit or more, it can get tricky. You should consider specialized hardware. Note that it has nothing to do with Zebra. The problem at stake here is packet routing/forwarding inside the kernel, and the kernel/hardware architecture limits. Zebra is just there to maintain the kernel routing table by using various (in your case, probably BGP) routing protocols. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
