Well, first of all, What does u're buisness expectations are.. LEAF can do lots, if it's just plain routing u doing, then with LEAF, u saves lots of Money, if u want some complicated routing, leaf can also do it...
I think as long as it's not a corparte buisness, but just a buisness, with about 10-100 employees per location, I'll go with the LEAF, for simple routing, cause as far as I can see, it works perfect.. I have 3 leaf routers running, and never had a problem from day 1, and we talking like 2 years now running LEAF, and my config is: 2x 486 DX 100Mhz 24 mb ram 1x P1 120Mhz 32 Mb ram... And I have no regrets... -----Original Message----- From: Craig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 21:28 To: LEAF Subject: [leaf-user] LEAF -vs- Cisco...what's YOUR opinion? Hi folks, I read the article in last month's Linux Journal about LEAF -vs- Cisco but unfortunately, I don't think they came to any real conclusions. I was particularly interested because I would like to use LEAF (Bering in particular) at my company (and I was hoping the article would provide some credible statistics)...but I'm afraid management will sneer and "poo-poo" my decision to implement it. I think they feel, like I'm sure other businesses feel, that because they've heard their competitor Brand X uses a Cisco router (oooh, ahhh), that it MUST be the smart thing to do. So, I thought I would ask so many of you who probably know both of these products like the "back of your hand", and probably use them on a daily basis. So...how DOES Linux/LEAF compare to Cisco? Do you think that Linux/LEAF can handle most business scenarios? I know Charles says that he uses Dachstein at his businesses. What do you think are its limitations? Other comments? Thank you as always. Craig ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
