Hey nanog-izens
So for routers that are touching our transit and (hopefully soon) future
peering, we're looking at both the force10 e300's and juniper mx240's.
The e300's are cheap but I have heard some rumors/talk of falling over
when it has to deal with large numbers of prefixes and routes? The
mx240's are nice but the cost difference is enormous. Does anyone have
experience with e300's running into issues with large routing tables?
Are there any tricks/tips that work around any issues (if they exist?)
Thanks in advance
Leslie
