Hi Marlon, Sorry it took a while to reply, I was busy with a couple of storage migrations over the weekend.
I think the guys have made some excellent suggestions in this thread. I'd like to add a couple more: 1. I don't think the NetScreen 25 can handle the full routing tables (believe me, I've tried on an appliance with similar specs) so this may pose a problem if you plan on receiving all prefixes from your ISP, or plan on peering with multiple ISPs. 1.1. If you have one, use a "real" router. If you have an old Cisco 2xxx or 3xxx lying around, you can beef it up a bit with more RAM and serial modules and you should be good. 1.2. A good alternative to "real" routers would be to use a good Linux box and run quagga on it. I've personally implemented this for AS9254 and it works well enough. The nice thing is you can do all sorts of cool stuff (e.g. HA failover, tcpdump, ntop, snort, etc. etc.). The only caveat is you will have trouble with the traditional v.35 serial modems that telcos use. The easiest way would be to have them supply Ethernet-capable CPEs or get a smallish router (e.g. Cisco 16xx/17xx/18xx) to route between your Linux router and the telco modem. I'm just curious but did you get a "real" AS number or a "private" one? Private AS numbers are in the range 64512 through 65534.
