If someone says border router then I know they mean a router whose job is to exchange traffic between ASNs. Saying "edge" is too ambiguous for me. IMO if someone has to ask "edge of what" or add qualifiers then it's the wrong term. Terms like core, access, distribution (dist), border shouldn't need further explanation. As a bonus, one word descriptions are good for simple DNS. But that's just me and I never use the term "edge" since it's unclear, although it has recently become a buzzword like "cloud". -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
