You will laugh, but the budget at the moment looks like £13k. Impossible? Do only linux and openbsd solutions remain in the mix for this pittance? On Sun 11:47 PM , Dale Rumph <daler () ibbs com> wrote:
What does your budget look like? A pair of Cisco 7246vxr's with G1's sitting on the edge of the network would be very effective and still allow expansion. Or you could go up to the 7609. However this gear may be slightly overkill. You might be ok with a 3660 enterprise and a ton of ram. I have done single sessions on them but not with the level of HA your looking for.

Basically the organisation that I'm working for will not have the skills in house to support a linux or bsd box. They will have trouble with supporting the BGP configuration, however I don't think they will be happy with me if I leave them with a linux box when they don't have linux/unix resource internally. At least with a Cisco or Juniper they are familiar with IOS and it won't be too foreign to them.

I'm asking this because I'm always running BGP with upstreams providersusing quagga on BSD and everything is fine until now. -------------------------------------------------- From: Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 8:39 PM To: Subject: Re: Failover how much complexity will it add?So if my requirements are as follows: - BGP router capable of holding full Internet routing table. (whetherIgo for partial or full, I think I want something with fullcapability).- Capable of pushing 100meg plus of mixed traffic. What are my options? I want to exclude openbsd, or linux with quagga.Probably looking at Cisco or Juniper products, but interested in any other alternatives people suggest. I realise this is quite abroadquestion, but hoping this will provide a starting point. Oh and if I have missed any specs I should have included above, please letmeknow. Thanks Adel
