Ideally the forwarding would be done with ASICs. The Cisco asr1000 class router seems to be what I'm looking for.

I don't need any of that stuff, just BGP, OSPF and fast packet forwarding for IPv4. But the point is that I need only routing functionality, I don't need switching functionality like on a Cisco 6500-class system. William -- William Pitcock SystemInPlace - Simple Hosting Solutions 1-800-688-5018
