So why don't you stop speculating, implement it yourself and > benchmark it against Junos? :-) Why are you so vindicative ? Don't you think such a thing as a FreeBSD MPLS implementation could ever exists ? I consider it would be a good thing and I see no reason why in the end it would not be equal or better than JunOS ? Can you explain why you think it is not possible ? I mean apart from the fact that you work at Juniper and you are trying to defend their products which in itself is understandable. At least I(we) could maybe learn something then . I know that a FreeBSD based MPLS solution can not rival with a Juniper Hardware and that is not the point, but one could at least use any PCI based interface card with it (even if it does not do 160 Gbps it would still be useful) > > > Right now almost no one has interest in MPLS (except telcos and large operator or ISP) > > but I am confident that this will change. > > > > Will that change before or after we see your MPLS implementation? :-) unfortunately , I think you will never see it in this lifetime because as I said earlier I don't the technical abilities to make such a implementation and I won't even try to. But that does not mean I can't speak about it after all we all live in free countries and all have the right to free speech no ? > > - Ping > -- =================================================================== Christophe Prevotaux Email: c.prevotaux@hexanet.fr HEXANET SARL URL: http://www.hexanet.fr/ Z.A Farman Sud Tel: +33 (0)3 26 79 30 05 9 rue Roland Coffignot Direct: +33 (0)3 26 79 08 02 BP415 Fax: +33 (0)3 26 79 30 06 51689 Reims Cedex 2 FRANCE =================================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
