Message-ID:Date: 2 Dec 88 22:56:54 GMT Sender: news@julian.uwo.ca Distribution: comp Organization: CCS, The University of Western Ontario, Canada Lines: 19 Posting-Front-End: GNU Emacs 18.47.7 of Tue Mar 1 1988 on myst.uwo.ca (berkeley-unix) 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. -- Peter Marshall, Data Comm.
