I'm not sure what the cheapest router is that can handle a full table today, but I'm pretty sure it's more expensive than what one that could 10 years ago cost then (ie a Cisco 2501).
A 50-EUR-off-Ebay PC can do that easily. And even if you go to the "off-the-shelf-real-routers" (actually not "routers", but "optimized forwarders with routing component") then you can have them quite cheaply... looking at JNPR J-Series and Cisco 1800 series that should be doable well below 2000 EUR. I doubt that the 2501 was much less expensive back then. :-) Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
