Ok, yes you are correct you can't drop a DS3 into the back of a PC, but why not use a 4500 or 7000 for your ds3's and then use a PC to do the major BGP4? On a 4500 I only can put in 32 megs or ram. Yes gated will use more ram for the same number of routes, but I can put 128 meg or more in a PC. -- End of excerpt from Nathan Stratton
I don't know if others have mentioned it... but I seem to recall that DEC was developing a PCI based HSSI interface for PCs. It also recently surfaced on one of the zillions of mailing lists. Granted you'd still need a DL 3100 or Larse Access-T45 to do your DS3 <-> HSSI stuff though. -- Jonathan Heiliger oOo Technical Specialist Email: loco@MFSDatanet.COM ooo MFS Datanet, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Telephone: [408].975.2259 oOo NCC: [800].637.4872
