RE: [leaf-user] TCP DOS Vulnerability - Relevent to LEAF?

2004-04-22 Thread Peter Mueller
 Any way you could expand on this, Peter? (Or anyone else?)

Here is the thread on Quagga:

RE: [leaf-user] BGP

2004-04-22 Thread Peter Mueller
 I am also using bering-uclibc+quagga packeages for ospfd and bgp. 
 works great

Where is the Quagga package?  BTW if you want VRRP there is a keepalived
package available.  I am using one I made a long time ago, but I thought
someone else made a newer one with ipvs support, too..

 do bering/bering-uclibs support napi stright out of the box. 
 it's a looong time since i last looked at napi.

If you use the right kernel driver it is 'out of the box' with any kernel =
2.4.20.  For example, Intel gigabit cards with e1000 driver.  I have heard
that tg3 (bcm5700) is also not bad, so long as your kernel is very recent
(= 2.4.25?).

Caveats:
-Don't use SMP. (I think hyperthreading probably falls into this category).
-Use 64-bit cards.
-Use PCI-X.
-Get a nice big fast processor (  2ghz ).

Re: [leaf-user] BGP

2004-04-22 Thread William Burns
I was thinking of building a BGP aware router (W/ only ethernet 
interfaces) and having it communicate w/ the 2 ISPs through the existing 
cisco routers.
I've been told that BGP routers can't do that and that I need a single 
BGP aware router w/ 2 v.35 interfaces on it.
Is that true?
If so, where do I get V.35 interfaces for use w/ LEAF?

I've got 2 T1s w/ two different ISPs (hence the desire to use BGP)
I already have two dinky cisco routers w/ v.35 interfaces.
Peter:

Thanks for the feedback and the additional info on recommended hardware 
for the PC-based sysem.
From what you said, I should be looking for a motherboard w/ dual 
gigabit interfaces.
(either Intel e1000 or Broadcom bcm5700)

Sorry for the newbie angle here, but...

VRRP is... Virtual Redundancy Router Protocol?
Is this an alternative to BGP, or is it something that complements it?

If I was comparing a LEAF, or other Linux based solution to either a 
$2500, or a $10,000 cisco router based solution, would the LEAF/Linux 
solution be comparable (in uptime+performance) to a cisco?
   

Yes.  I use CF-IDE flash  dual power.  Price/performance is much better.  A
p4 server with intel gigabit NICs and NAPI enabled will kick serious ass.
