My only point was that all that redundancy, which I think is a GOOD thing, is only redundant to a point. At some point in the system, there is a point of failure. > However, I have NEVER heard of a Cisco 12000 series "backplane" failing. > EVER. Nor have I. That wasn't really the point I was making anyway. The point, as stated above, is that there IS a point of failure in the system, even if it is a rare failure. Don't get me wrong, the router you have sounds like a great bargain. I am not knocking that at all. > Can't say that for an X86 based anything... they fail all the > time... cards, system boards, processors, memory, power supplies, etc. I'd say that this is a bit of an exaggeration. > The point was, running RouterOS on a device taking multiple BGP feeds... > which I would never do...

The only difference between your choice and mine is which one we put as "first" choice, which, for me, would be ImageStream. Except that Cisco wouldn't likely be my second choice, either...I'd be more likely to go with Juniper and then Cisco. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
