Hi, folks
I just want to know whether there will be performance issue with 4 OC3 and
one GE or not.
GEIP+ (Enhanced GE) has built-in VIP4 card, and it can process up to
800Mbps.
GEIP with built-in VIP2 can process up to 400Mbps.
But that is some kind of ideal number.
I just want to know the real experience for this environment.
The reason for this is because we have 7507 and want to upgrade this for
OC3 environment.
I want to go with Juniper M20. ;>
But there is a lot of facts with router platform decision, you know.
