BGP on 1720 ? [7:70960]

2003-06-20 Thread Herold Heiko
Hello, I'm trying to wrap my head around a some offers from different IPSs. This stuff (running BGP on internet routers) really is (currently) a bit over my head, but I just can't bring me to accept the hardware requirements. What we need to achieve basically is full redundancy on our internet con

Hi, Just a few thoughts: 1. You can use something small like a 1720 to run BGP but the trick here is to filter all/some routes that you are receiving. The current recommendation from Cisco is 128MB for full BGP routing tables (I think the tables stand on 110 000 routes now). The second part would

Hi Zsombor, The last time I checked BGP was a routing protocol, that means there is an algorithm running that's calculating the best path to a destination. A bunch of information is advertised to you and your router needs to decide which routes to put in the routing table based on the information

A team of us have been drafting IETF documents for a generalized approach to single-router BGP convergence. The terminology document is about to go to the RFC editor after some final text formatting. The methodology document has technically expired--the economy hit the team, but we should be g

Thank you for your answer Howard. Unfortunately I don't have enough experience to answer in such depth as you did but maybe one day I'll get there. :-) PS. Isn't it good to see that experts participate in this forum too? Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71088&t=70
