[AusNOG] Assistance in picking a router

[Jared Hirst]

Daniel,

It is configured fine, you wanted to hide us from your path and we
suggested a vyatta virtual router as you did not want us to route your ips
nor did you want to invest $10,000 in a decent router.

The degraded traffic only appears when you are under high packets per
second ddos. I advised earlier about this. There is no Mis configuration,
we are going to try and stop the attacks from bringing your network offline.

If you were being advertised by us then out routers would not have this
issue, as many have suggested when you have a single upstream this is the
best way to go about having a stable and redundant network setup, as we
have dual routers and very powerful routers that can handle high PPS.

Just for the lists sake, we have done and will continue to do everything we
can as the provider for this AS!

I made one suggestion to maybe look into a hardware router to cope with Mis
fragmented packets and high PPS and now I am being dragged into something
that I shouldn't be.

Daniel I suggest you talk to us rather than this list and rather than bring
me into a public forum and make possibly incorrect accusations.

Regards,

Jared
