I'm running ImageStream routers for the Internet distribution side of my network (2 edge routers, 2 core routers) and I'm extremely happy... This is a datacenter network and my customers are happy, I guess that's all that counts. In my opinion, I prefer to go with a open-source based solution because of pricing and customizability... I can build a script and load it into the equipment to give me any type of statistic I want... And I don't have to wait for a new IOS release.

Yes, it is fairly new and I'm not sure it is production quality, but still. The config option is IP_FIB_TRIE, for the LC-trie algorithm. It's supposed to be something like CEF. Mike.
