The trick is finding the good IOS revs. 12.0(7)T and 12.2(11)T have been good ones for me. Finding other ISPs running ciscos to exchange tips and ideas has been much easier than finding folks running linux. A sure-fire way to get flamed is to post to NANOG asking what's the best Linux router setup! For most ISPs it's better to spend $20K on a 7206VXR/NPE-G1 than to spend days trying to figure out what kernel + patch set, NIC, and motherboard combination will squeeze the best performance out of a PC router. And once you've done that you still have zebra quirks to worry about... -Ralph - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
