[c-nsp] Small Router/Switch for a small site?

[Paul Stewart]

I'm looking at dropping a few 1811's into production next week.. Will
drop one into our NOC first and see what it'll do while routing...:)

To be honest - I haven't had a chance to push an 1800 in production yet
so I really can't say. I'm only going on the cisco marketing figures and
naturally they may vary wildly depending on actual usage. 
On paper, the 1800 and 3640 PPS ratings look about the same so you could
be right.

But, from the original question - I know that the 87x series do have
their limitations - I've hit them so the 1800 is the next step up from
there. If price wasn't a problem then the 2800 would be a good choice.

Be interesting to hear some real-life comparisons on the 1800. I should
have some data in a few months...
