PCs are cheap and I know them well. I wasn't aware Cabletron even had a box with a BGP-4 implementation in it.
they just bought Yago, who were developing an ASIC based "big honking router". it's just hit beta. if i were staying at INet Solutions (today is my last day at the old shop) i'd have an evalution/beta unit in here right now. they're still working on the various and sundry port cards; the original version didn't have a lot of the WAN cards it needed to be a really useful backbone piece.
That sounds like salesspeak. I've used lots of cabletron hubs and such over the years, but they never seemed to have real routers.
but the smartswitch 2200 runs RIPv1... and according to cabletron's press release, it does "level 4 switching"... cheers, richard -- Richard Welty rwelty () neworks net http://www.neworks.net
