 GRE is not supported on the small Catalyst switches. It does
 work (in some versions?) but only at low performance and with
 high CPU utilization... And, again, it's not supported.

Yeah - I've since found that on the Cisco website.

But, what about GRE performance on true routers?

 7600/Sup720 will do whatever you need, provided you use a different local
 address for each tunnel source (if you have multiple tunnels on the
 same local IP address, the hardware can't do the tunneling, and the CPU 
 is much slower).

But it won't verify the source address on GRE packets it receives,
which makes it feasible to forge GRE packets without forging the source
address, which in some configurations makes some attacks easier.  That
relevant in some situations and not in others ...

[c-nsp] IS-IS or OSPF as IGP?

2007-04-21 Thread omar parihuana
Hi list,

We're redesigning a small MPLS Network (about 30 PE Routers and 2 P Routers
-Link between P-PE: Ethernet-), so far the IGP is OSPF, however  ISIS was
proposed too.  What is the best? IS-IS or OSPF? and Why? regarding the small
network.

Thank you for your suggestions...

Rgds.

Possibly the single most annoying difference is that Cisco uses the 
command ip router isis tag to activate isis on an interface, vs just 
ip ospf with no router. Now imagine you're tired and trying to take 
isis off an interface, and instead of typing no ip router isis you 
accidentally type no router isis, and guess what happens. :)
