Be ware that you will have about 10ms latency that you wouldn't have if you went with a better router (ie, Cisco)... for example: This is from a Cisco 7513 to a 25xx on a cross town full T1 Frame Relay: san-diego-7513#ping 206.64.35.14 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 206.64.35.14, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/8/8 ms ---- This is from the same 7513 to a P130 on a cross town 384k Frame Relay: san-diego-7513#ping 206.251.146.78 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 206.251.146.78, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 16/19/32 ms ---- This if from the same 7513 to some weird Bay box on a cross town 384k Frame Relay: san-diego-7513#ping 10.0.0.14 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.14, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 12/12/16 ms Basically, regardless of whether it can handle the bandwidth, it is going to be slower than a 25xx Cisco. You save some money, but you lose some speed.
