Re: 3Com routers

==> From: Nandor Horvath

Hi,

We have got an offer for 3Com NETBuilder II routers. They seem to be quite cheap, but I do not have any experience with them.

If you have such a router, could you please write me your experience with them, especially compared to CISCO router? Can it really support BGP 4 routing protocol and RFC877 encapsulation?

Many thanks for your reply, Nandor Horvath

I saw them once in Erlangen measurements results. They performed quite well, compared to Cisco. Probably Scott Bradner (Harvard) has/had them in his tests, I haven't seen any recent ones. I don't know about BGP4 and RFC877. One of our customers is using one as a simple IP router. PPP and RIP over serial link to SURFnet. Works fine. -Don
