Hello, I have 300 CMs, (Cable Modems) average pack:
512kbps each one, behind a border router (CMs->CMTS->border router) with this

border_router 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux be to small to handle the load of our net? I think it
isn’t but some others wants a CISCO 3845 (me too ;·) but that isn’t
the question this time) I don’t know how to correct measure the load…..
and the requirements :·( derived from them, any ideas? Thanks in advance. Saludos. Pablo. |
