Hi Fabien,

I strongly have to disagree with you. We run a full bgp implementation on Ex=
treme in our network and are very pleased with it and the support that we ge=
t from Extreme. One of our x480's we run has about 1.4 milj learned routes a=
nd another has around 200 bgp peers on the AMS-iX... So what is your point ?=


As an ex-Extreme employee making such strong statements, while you don't kno=
w the current status at customers, it may be best to ask who is using it and=
 how, instead of acting like a grumpy ex-employee.=20

Feel free to ask about our setup.

Regards,
Erik Bais
