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.
