edgemax @pops

mhoppes, I'm going to argue that you can't call your network flat if you are proxying arp, just for the sake of argument you know lol.

and maybe I was a bit aggressive with 'can't', but throughput collapses and arp storms cause intermittent issues.

rebelwireless - :) I'm a politician in the making.

so anyway lol, edgemax at pops has potential but is lacking a few key technologies to handle fast convergence for redundant setups. got it.

WOW, this thread exploded into a deep discussion fast!

I think this is the fastest growing thread I have seen here!

[pmcnary]

Brutal honesty, I love it. This type of discussion is soooooo educational!

I love the back and forth, good and/bad with both sides making points.

Thanks

I'm using EdgeMax routers and OSPF, works great. For me it's not if it takes >50 ms to fail over, more that it actually fails over.

What I like about the EdgeRouter is the PoE model I was one of the ideas behind. I use at small sites, powering both backbone links (2) and 3 AP's with sectors (120 degree).

I would really like a stronger version (more powerful CPU) of the EdgeRouter Lite and PoE. One that could run the FQ_Codel setup and not have it limited to 60-70 Mbps per EdgeRouter Lite/PoE.
If it could run 200 - 300 Mbps per port would be great...

For larger sites my plan is to use WS-8 and EdgeRouter Lite...

Have you played with any policing ingress limiting? It worked surprisingly well and latency/jitter was similar to fq_codel and could limit just under 200Mbps before the cpu was pegged.
