MT main router for 100 meg leased line ??

Sat Mar 22, 2008 12:18 pm

As title.

We currently use MT on a Pentium PC for a 2.3 meg leased line and 2 x bonded aDSL line routing solution.
The lines are presented to the MT box as simple 100 meg ethernet..

We are looking at 100 meg leased line, throttled to 30 meg - I assume MT could cope with this as our main feed, with a standard 8 meg aDSL max as backup - provided the presentation was right (ie presumably presented to the MT box as 100 meg ethernet?)

Or am I totally up the creek here...
I can provide more details but it is just a 100 meg fast ethernet, and the supplier is offering a 2800 series Cisco router - but we already have the MT box so why bother with the Cisco?

Cheers and thanks.

For 30mbps, any PC based MT would do, and some of the higher end routerboards would do fine.

Not an issue really .. MT can handle this and then some. Just drop in a MT running on dual 400 meg feeds :)

I thought so - the issue is simply the presentation - right?

100 or 1000 meg ethernet I assume?
Or whaterver else card MT supports..

Thanks..

PS I assume as I said, if the presentation is right, don't bother with the Cisco??

PPS 400 MEG feeds .... DROOL............................ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
