Depending on your WAN interface, there's actually a decent amount of stuff out there. The cheaper alternative to me has actually always been to get some old cisco hardware with the proper interfaces and use it for media conversion. I have a 6500 with Sup1As in it. It can't take BGP feeds with the amount of memory it has, but with the right cards, it will give my router Ethernet and push a few million pps with no problem. Sounds like he's getting Ethernet from his provider though, so this probably isn't an issue. -- Alex Thurlow Blastro Networks http://www.blastro.com http://www.roxwel.com http://www.yallwire.com
