Me too... Will probably pony up for one as soon as I can. I haven't tried out their software in a more than trivial configuration, and haven't gotten IPv4 policy routing working (though I understand it's in there now). An ER-Lite tunnels IPv6 fine, haven't tried it with PD... > I feel like I'm at the risk for becoming a UBNT fanboy. Does anyone have > any qualified horror stories about EdgeMAX or UniFi?

They are an unmitigated disaster at hitting dates and calibrating expectations. The EdgeRouter Pro has been on their web site for well over a year. The EdgeRouter Carrier (with 10ge SFP+) has disappeared from their web site altogether. I'm concerned about the Vyatta CLI docs and their continuing availability. Someone from Brocade should make some public statements to set our collective minds at ease. That said I've been reasonably happy with the UBNT stuff (mostly older outdoor gear) that I've bought over the past several years. It's held up well. Just don't count on the availability of anything that you can't order up from your favorite VAR and have it show up in the FedEx. -r
