Mark, You are right that makes sense. So as a recap, you were seeing about 45 seconds route convergence time using RE-S-1800x4 w/ 16GB RAM. For a MX104 it took 4min 25sec. I assume a MX80 would be even slower than an MX104. What about a MX480 with RE-2000's with 4GB of ram? Does anyone have any s

One caveat about Cogent even as a third or extra provider. Because of disputes with eyeball networks, there is significant congestion at peering points with Cogent. We saw consistent 5-10% packet loss over many months traversing Cogent through to Charger, Cox and Verizon as well as others. For

At enterprise storage costs, that much storage will cost more than the OC-12, and then add datacenter and backups. Total could be 2-3x OC-12 annual costs. If your org can afford to buy non-top-line storage then it would probably be cheaper to go local. However, you should check how much of th

Datacenter isn't actually an issue since there's room in the same racks (ironically, in the location the previous fileservers were) as the Domain Controllers and WAN Accelerators. Based on the "standard" (per the Windows admins) file storage space of 700 meg, that sounds like 3TB for user storage.
