He have a 7206 doing EVERYTHING. OSPF, Static, E/iBGP and firewalling.
I'm kicking my boss to get another router and leave the 7206 as a border
router and get a 7505 or 7507 as an internal core router. He is concerned
with physical hops as customers hate to see hops. I heard that their is a
way to "Tunnel" two routers or two interfaces together to make it seem
"invisible" to a traceroute. Is this possible?! Is it worth while? I'm
sketchy about load on the 7206 which is why I want to take action as it is
constantly rebooting. We have received a NPE-200 which I have yet to
install to try to remidy our reboot problem, but I have heard that the
7206s have a design flaw hindering their performance at high RPM so to
speak which will leave the NPE-200 as nothing more then a dent in the
pocket book. Anyone have any info on this?! Anyone know about tunneling?
