You don't want Bay and you certainly don't want 3Com. If your network is fairly slow (ethernets and T1s only) you can use PCs running a reasonable BSD and GateD. Otherwise, the only commercial choice is Cisco.Just out of curiosity ... Why not considering the 4th vendor, Cabletron, for this kind of equipment, before using PCs.
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 released some announcement that major companies and campuses are using their equipment for new backbones.
That sounds like salesspeak. I've used lots of cabletron hubs and such over the years, but they never seemed to have real routers. Perry
