On top of what was said previously, I don't know what your exact requirements are but if you can get away with not using fiber and just need something under 400Mb, you can perform IPMP (IP Multi-pathing) with the QFE cards which is basically bonding the aggreagate of the 4 eth. ports.

Hey all, since the crowd is chatting about gigabit sensors, can anyone tell me if they are using a Sun box to get anything over 150Mbps, maybe up to 300? I don't know much about Sun hardware and would prefer to avoid dropping $20,000 x 2. This box will have to run (sigh) Solaris 8.
It'll be ok. :) And if you just need the good ole 'ps -auxww' back, make sure that /usr/ucb is up front in the path. :) If you can swing it, go Fiber. That will make your life quite a bit easier. If not, throw quad ether (qfe) at it. Of course the other standards apply: lotsa ram, fast disk, lotsa CPU, etc... And another note: Don't try to use a Netra. Great boxes, just not cut out for that much traffic. I think if one saw that much traffic, it would change color to yellow and run the other way. :) Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
