What do you mean couldn't handle the packet load? I have a client using a bunch of Imagestream routers, which are basically customized linux boxes on industrial grade PC hardware. One takes 6 transit T1s and full routes from 2 providers. It's a Celeron 700mhz, with 256mb RAM. Gated uses about 64mb RAM. The kernel seems to suck up about as much for the routing table, leaving about 112mb free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@...*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
