It just requires actual quality PC hardware.Please let me know when your Linux box is capable of doing line rate forwarding on an OC-192.
Please let me know when a 7200 will do line rate forwarding on an OC-192. :) Sorry... I had to....I do not think that Linux is exactly cut out for the job, but he DID say a 7200. :)
Thanks! --msa
