And they only have to process maybe 2mbit/s of control traffic during busy hour. The rest is handled by dedicated hardware/ASIC's. Each one has a fully redundant hardware circuit pack and a bunch of monitoring to switch over in case one fails. Even then, it's fun when some one screws up and reboots it :) -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net
