At least some of the other vendors have workarounds (lame as they might be *coughnetaggcough*), or newer supervisors with FIBs, but I'm not aware of anything you can do to make an L3 Barney Switch behave well under a random dest flood.
The options in the market that I know of in the $3k-$8k range either has a very small routing table (Cisco 3550 for instance) or has a large route cache (Extreme Summit i-plattform is a good example). So it's either a 3550 with a lame low number of routes and mac addresses and memory that behaves well under random destination flood, or it's Extreme with a good number of mac addresses and routes that normally does everything it should, but behaves badly under random destination load. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se
