Router choice for medium size hosting provider
- From: Alex Campbell

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a new router to connect our data center to our tier 1 ISP
via a 50mbps fibre link. Does anyone have any advice about what level of
Cisco router would be required to saturate this link?
We're looking at the 2811 but I can't get any real world data about whether
it can route packets at 50mbps - this seems doubtful although unclear from
the information on the Cisco data sheets.
(I'm aware that a cheap PC running Linux could provide similar throughput to
a $20000 Cisco router but for a variety of reasons I'm reluctant to follow
this path).
Thanks,
Alex
