have anyone seen or maybe used 40Gig cards for NE5000E? are they
available, and how do they work? (rumours say there might be some
issue due to the fact that huawei has only 10G capable forwarding
chip, but maybe that issue had been solved already).

 Some experience in the real life 


Dependent on your interface needs, if GigE, 10G, (40G  100G in the 
future) and POS are all you need, include the Foundry XMR in your 
eval too. Very solid software and excellent support at a price point 
which is significantly lower than C  J. I don't know the pricing for H.

There is no single answer to your question. Looking at what the platforms 
offer NOW (if you want future you have to talk to the vendors), some key 
points:


CRS-1 scales to at least 4-8 linecard chassis with current software.
Juniper T1600 doesn't have a multichassi solution.
NE5000E is available in two linecard chassi solution.

CRS-1 was designed from the beginning as a 64 (or 72, I dont remember) 
linecard chassi solution, Juniper and Huawei are working on their 
scalability.


If you need a lot of multicast you need to look into how the platforms do 
this, none of them will do wirespeed multicast on all packet sizes and 
they all have different ways of handling it internally. If you have less 
than 10% of your packets that are multicast, this is less of a worry.


Since Huawei is the challenger here, it's most likely they'll give you the 
most aggressive price.


If you need netflow, it might be good to know that CRS-1 does without the 
need for anything additional, both T1600 and NE5000E needs feature 
acceleration cards to do netflow properly, and NE5000E will only do 
netflow in the ingress direction on a linecard whereas CRS-1 and T1600 
will do it bidirectionally.


When it comes to operational issues, my personal opinion:

If you know Juniper, the OS of course identical on the T1600.
If you know IOS, IOS XR is fairly easy to learn.
Huawei OS looks configurationwise structurally like IOS, but with the 
commands changed on purpose (show is display etc).


There are a lot more things to say but a lot of it might be under NDA, so 
you need to talk to the vendors directly to get more details.

Re: 365 Main reason for outage report published

2007-08-03 Thread Deepak Jain



Register4Less recently reported a power failure in Montreal where the
return of a single cycle from the utility tricked generators into
shutting down all three cycles, throwing the data center onto UPS until
the batteries died.  They did not report make of generator or of the
board that failed them.


Many generator control systems (and transfer switches) do not monitor 
all three phases for voltage, and stability (phase sync). Any of these 
can cause a UPS to use its batteries (without charging) and not fire up 
the generator. Or conversely, allow a generator to power down.


Its happened to lots of people in various places, but I am not going to 
name-names.

Dependent on your interface needs, if GigE, 10G, (40G  100G in the future) 
and POS are all you need, include the Foundry XMR in your eval too. Very 
solid software and excellent support at a price point which is significantly 
lower than C  J. I don't know the pricing for H.


Any experiences of Foundry routing w/ more complex protocols (PIM, 
MSDP, various IPv6 stuff)?


The last time we tried running non-C/J as a router was a very Extreme 
experience and we swore never again to touch similar router underdogs 
in the future.

2007-08-03 Thread Jason J. W. Williams

We're Juniper right now, but we're looking at the Foundry MLX line for
possible future sites due to cost/performance. So I'd be interested in
folks' experience with Foundry's Terathon gear and associated IronWare
revs. Its supposed to be a lot better than the JetCore stuff
(cam-trashing problems etc.) but it'd be nice to hear what folks are
seeing in real life.

Best Regards,
Jason

ALEJANDRO,

You can use Foundry XMR box.

It has excellent performance under MPLS, BGP and Multicast Networks.

But ... I never saw it under extreme conditions with IPv6 ...

Att,

Giuliano

They already fail at light conditions, given that there is no
multitopology IS-IS. This equals to showstopper if your network
uses multitopo IS-IS for v4+v6 (and perhaps even for unicast and
multicast).

Daniel,

Like Juniper T1600 and CRS-1 I have to agree it will be very difficult 
to compare thinking about performance and S.O functionality (ASICs, 
Internet Processor 2, Multicasting Matrix Architecture, Hardware Arch, 
QNX, Real Time OS, I-Chip ASICs, Forwarding Plane, Control Plane and 
Service Plane etc.) ... thinking that major (95 % ?) of the service 
providers, telecom companies and research networks (I2, NLR, AARNET, 
APAN...) in the world are using something the both trades.


We do not have a lot of other companies cases to show.

Juniper has IPv6 implementation since 10 years ? JUNOS 4.2 ? We have to 
agree (too) they have a lot expertise in how it works under mix, heavy 
traffic, etc.


Only prices fro this 2 machines are very HARD to work !!!

Thinking about Juniper a good suggestion could be the MX Series Family 
with high concentration of Ethernet High Speedy Interfaces (SFP).


Cisco CRS-1 is very new, right ? People from NLR (I think) is using the 
8 slot router with the new IOS XR based on QNX ... Maybe some of them 
could tell how it works under heavy conditions of traffic, v4+v6 mix 
with multicast, unicast and MPLS VPNs .. all running togheter.


Thanks,

Giuliano
