I bought two Maxxwaves with the Core2 Duo processor and it's an Axiomtek
NA-822 inside. It's a nifty platform, I'm probably going to put BIRD on
it and make some BGP RRs one of these fine days. I'm too OCD to suffer a
"server" in the routing/switching bays as the only thing with ports on
the back.
I wouldn't imagine trying to route 10 gig with it though, or sharing any
functions (like VOIP) on it.
