RE: (ASCEND) BGP 4 ? (fwd)



Once upon a time Gary Stern shaped the electrons to say...
>An Ascend Max, a Bay 8000 or even a cisco 5200 are all really "access
>servers" not for mainline routing.

I'll state for the record that the PortMaster-3 is quite capable of
'mainline routing' and is being used as such by a number of sites.  And
it will run multiple full BGP views (45K+ routes) in 16MB of RAM.  You can
use one port for dialin and another for a leased line if you want.

>If all your links are in the one location get yourself either a Bay
>ARN or a Cisco 2500 series and run BGP 4 to your heart's desire.

Will a 2500 series take a full view from BGP?  I thought I'd read that you
needed a higher level Cisco to take full views.
