Re: experience with BGP on Extreme's Alpine

I have had very good experiences using Extremes BGP implementation on The SummitI and Black Diamond L3 switches. I ran EBGP and IBGP (no sync) with full internet routing tables, interoperating with Cisco and Riverstone equipment and had no major problems. Extremes BGP implementation is identical to Cisco's in most respects. It provides good support for BGP reflection and uses the same route selection criteria. My only complaint is Extremes implementation Cisco's "Administrative Distance", known as "Route Priority" there is little documentation (both inside and outside of Extreme) on how the values are determined and how they can be adjusted. \michael --- Arnold Nipper <arnold () nipper de> wrote:
I know ExtremeNetwork's high position in L2, but don't have any idea how they perform on L3. Now an Alpine3804 might the right solution for a customer as he needs a loadbalancer, switch and router which also should do BGP. Any experience and hints welcome! Arnold
