David,

The cheapest cisco in the world (the IGS) can keep a T1 full
in routing mode.  PSINet, most of the regional networks, and
many enterprise networks are pushing LOTS of traffic very
very "fast".  Some of them even have on line numbers where you
can see that yourself, over months if not years of traffic.
Send me a private message if you want to see psi's SNMP stats
for cisco's which are available via anonymous ftp.

 Hello all, I need some help and info.  We have a large network with about
 11-14 different nets.  Our problem today is the fact that they are all
 bridged.  We need a router! we have about 600+ nodes and the bridges,
 well they work but not that well - sometimes. Ohh, we have a whole bunch
 of protocols TCP/IP, DEC, XNS, NBP, Ethertalk and IPX.  TCP/IP is what
 most of our traffic is on our nets.  We have 99.99% picked CISCO (AGS+)
 as the router to go with but I keep hearing.... how SLOW it gets when 
 you start to route the different protocols.  Is there any truth in this
 ???????  I have talked to CISCO and other vendors about this, now I would
 like to hear what the "real" world has to say.  We want to route 
 the 11-14 nets and then in the future go with an FDDI backbone with a 
 bunch of routers.
 
 thanx
