We are being offered Retix bridges that are supposed to be able to
forward 6000 packets per second and monitor 12000 per second at the
low low price of about us$1850 each.  This is significantly less than
bridges like DEC's LANbridge.  Does anyone have any experience with
these units?  Are they reliable?  Do they get the traffic through?  Do
they support any reasonable monitoring and management capabilities?
What's your experience with these boxes?  Any information would be
much appreciated.
