How much real throughput do they need? Any idea of the average packet size?
You could use an ImageStream Rebel router for a WHOLE LOT less than the Cisco: http://www.imagestream.com/Rebel.html Regards, Jeff ImageStream Sales Manager 800-813-5123 x106 _____ From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Nick Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 12:16 PM To: us...@wug.cc; WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Gigabit Router or L3 Switch? I have a customer that needs a router capable of routing up to 1Gbps of traffic - AT&T Ethernet handoff. Should only really need 1 WAN port and 1 LAN port. What's everyone else using? They have shunned the idea of a RouterMaxx or PowerRouter. They prefer to stick with Cisco, Adtran, or Foundry. Cisco doesn't seem too cost effective; the only thing I've found that will run that much traffic is a 7206 with a G2. Anything newer and we're in the $20k-$40k range. Should I be looking at Layer 3 switches? They shouldn't need any firewall or filtering on this device. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
