Subject: [LARTC] Is Linux based Router feasible
Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2004 11:42:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40ED304D.9000107@svw.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've a local LAN consisting of about 150 machines.  I'm using a Linux 
machine as the gateway machine which inturn connects to two different 
ISPs.  My question is can a Linux based machine match the performance of 
a hardware based routers provided by Cisco,... OR is my decision to go 
for a Linux based solution is a wrong one?.

Is there so much difference between these two solutions?

Can I achieve the same performance using a high end PC and Linux?

 I'm asking this because one guy told me that my decision to go for a 
Linux based solution is a wrong one and it can never match the 
performance of Routers provided by Cisco.

Thanks
Sudheer
