                                            <br>
                                            <br>
                                            So I have tested routerOS
                                            ... in VM and also bought
                                            the ccr1036.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            I'm not 100% happy with the
                                            ccr1036.  Basically can't
                                            push 1 tcp stream past 1Gb/s
                                            I can get 8-9Gb/s with
                                            multiple streams. I can get
                                            UDP up to 9.8Gb/s<br>
                                            <br>
                                            I like routerOS interface
                                            (have to admit I like the
                                            vyatta better from what I
                                            saw).<br>
                                            <br>
                                            But now I need to find
                                            something similar to these
                                            devices around the same
                                            price and around the same
                                            performance, I would like to
                                            push it all to a VM but
                                            Brocade want my 1st and 2nd
                                            child ...<br>
                                            <br>
                                            So routerOS support is
                                            nowhere close to Cisco and
                                            rightly so for the price, so
                                            I have some hesitancy in
                                            rolling these things out,
                                            especially if they are going
                                            into the core.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            So are there any suggestions
                                            from the list ?<br>
                                            <br>
