I guess I knew that 10GigE interfaces were available, but was doubting that you and the MT guys could saturate them. Internally, I wouldn't be too concerned, but if I had to lease a wave, I'd want to make sure I could fill it up. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

I think a sweet spot for a router would have 60 - 80 gigabits of throughput. 3x 10Giges and 0 - 10x GigEs. 1x 10GigE goes East, another goes West, and the last goes up to a cheap provider. The GigEs go to peering fabrics, private peers, alternate upstreams, etc. Oh, and being able to

It's not a processor limitation Fred, it's a Linux issue. It can be fixed, but will require a major re-write. I question that Vyatta has really overcome it. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 7, 2011, at 9:06 PM, Fred Goldstein fgoldst...@ionary.com wrote: At 7/7/2011 08:47 PM, JeffB wrote:
