Re: Failover how much complexity will it add?

Looking at two 100Mbit/s BGP connections, so I think I want something that will do more than 100 but nowhere close to a gig. So full routing table capability
with throughput of mixed traffic around 200Mbit/s. If that makes sense. Do the 2850s fall into that sort of price point?
