I have a GRF in production with ATM, FDDI and Ethernet, we use it to talk to Nortel Passport Switches and other GRFs. We also have a GRF plugged in to the FDDI Waveswitches at the LINX and yes we've had a few problems with the box, mostly on the ATM side, but Ascend are attentive and produce fixes and new features regularly. I'm looking forward to the new 1.4 software which looks good. Also because it runs gated, routeing with the box is very good, I've had no BGP4 problems with this, other than I wish they would release the gated as a seperate software product so I can run it on my non-GRF routers. > > maybe someone can post some performance numbers. > I believe the Tolly group did some [not that I'd trust anything to come out of them].
