This is rubbish and sounds like you haven't RTFMed. I redistribute static routes throughout with the GRF and it works fine. > The Ascend technical center is not helpful nor the documentation. > And the performance are limited to an average of 50k pps per card. I agree that the TAC is as good as useless the manuals of the GRF are toilet paper, fortuently I've used BSD/OS and gated for a while so I know my way around. I've seen a GRF tested to more than 50000 pps so I'd like to hear how you came to that conclusion. > But with the time i think that the GRF could be a good alternative > towards CISCO. Its already is a good alternative. Regards, Neil. -- Neil J. McRae. Alive and Kicking.
