Has anyone compared the figures or have any feelings regarding the Bay
Networks BCN ??
We are considering one over a Cisco 7513/RSP4 or a GRF.
Bay claims to hold the entire Internet routing table in just 4-6MB RAM
per BGP peer (I assume this is after convergence). They say that the
method in which they do this is proprietary. I am just wondering if it
is possible.....
TIA

Working on it, got my Bay in yesterday. Will take the electrical people a
few days to get a 240 Volt 20 AMP connection to it.

Bay is doing some vary interesting stuff, They clam to have the 7500 and
GRF beat hands down. We just got our new lab up with 7500 RSP4 VIP2, GRF
400, GRF 1600, and Bay. It will be vary interesting to see who wins. I
have my money on the GRF, but we shall see.

That's certainly possible. However, it would be interesting to see how it
scales with the number of peers. You could quickly find yourself needing
64MB if it's even just linear.
