Now, maybe :BEST Internet is now wealthy enough that you can blow that kind of money on :Cisco gear without thinking about it, but a lot of smaller ISP's are not. : :If you look at what happened last weekend on Sunday, and the number of people :that screamed about it, it's quite obvious that there are a huge number of :gated and zebra boxes out there handling global routing. Take off those :Cisco blinders, boy! ;-) : :Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com :Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Hmm. Well, as a person who ran gated at BEST, has hacked on gated on same, had to deal with BSDI and FreeBSD route table bugs, tracked down OSPF bugs for a friend running gated, and otherwise spent hundreds of hours (at least!) keeping boxes running gated operational... well, I'll take the Cisco any day thank you very much! If you are a small ISP and you have enough money to pay for two T1's, you have enough money to buy a used router that can do BGP for you.
