I am afraid this discussion is not for nanog, but I can't resist
to one simple question:
- I have 'gdc dump' in gated, and this dump answers to all my question.
Where is this command in IOS? How can I determine if Network-A is
redistribute from STATIC to RIP (or OSPF) and is it anounced to
the neighbour D?
Its fun doing this on a gated box that is default free. 
Before the advent of gii you had to do a dump to get the information
contained in sh ip bgp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Gated IMO is a good thing. The problem is the OS/hardware that it
runs on top of. I would dred having to install something that needs
a hard drive to route packets in a light-out POP.

Gated doesn't require a hard drive. It merely requires a direct access
storage device. With a little bit of creativity this requirement could be
met with a RAM drive or a PCMCIA RAM card or similar.

Exactly. Note that the Ascend GRF-400 (the 4-slot GigaRouter) does exactly
this with (I believe) a big honkin' pile of flash.

Agreed. It takes a long time.

You don't need a hard drive. Use some of the money you saved by not
buying C***o to buy lots of DRAM. Boot from floppy.
Or even buy a flash-based hard drive emulator. Or combine the two
solutions.
