* Alex Thurlow:
Depending on your WAN interface, there's actually a decent amount of stuff out there. The cheaper alternative to me has actually always been to get some old cisco hardware with the proper interfaces and use it for media conversion. I have a 6500 with Sup1As in it. It can't take BGP feeds with the amount of memory it has, but with the right cards, it will give my router Ethernet and push a few million pps with no problem.
But you have to ask your peer to enable eBGP multihop, right? Or are there some TTL tricks you can play? -- Florian Weimer <fweimer () bfk de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
