There has got to be a push from the USERS of this equipment (not just one user, all users) to get line rate, full packet filtering capability on ALLinterfaces on EVERY router, everything from the smallest foundry or 1700to the largest 12416 or M160 or Avici. If users don't start asking for this 2 years ago it'll be another 4-5 years before its a reality. Thevendors will NOT push forward on this without a significant cash incentive(like everyone saying: I need this so do it for me).So it appears that we are in agreemnet after all! :-) (And we've been saying the above for at least 4 years now...)
Since at least one vendor has got the message and ships hardware that *will* do line-rate filtering on high-speed interfaces, perhaps the answer is to modulate vendor selection accordingly. There's a significant cash incentive, for you, or at least a significant non-cash disincentive.
