I believe they used Celeron 2.4 for "control plane" and a bunch of StrongARM's linked with SPI to form a pseudo hardware forwarding plane.  I guess it shows the age of the platform.

Oh and I have a slot in P4 2.8 CPU replacement for the Celeron 2.4
that ships standard with the J2320, if anyone has a spare unit and
wants to see if they can make the magic smoke come out, let me know :)

SRX is much more powerful than the J series.  Just make sure to use
them in packet mode.

Instead of J2300 look at SRX perhaps. Cheap, fast, good. Pick
three.

Hello Again

I’ve had a few options given to me – a mixture of router based 
solutions vs separate appliances

On the router front the options given are: Cisco ASR1k/1001s 
Cisco SCE (Service Control Engines) Juniper J2320 Mikrotik

And I’ve been informed that policing rather than shaping is the
way to go using this type of solution

On the appliance front we have: Allot NetEnforcers Allot Sigma 
http://www.allot.com/Products_Overview.html A few people
recommended these – however I did have one reply stating that
the GUI is Java based and horrible

Sandvine DPI boxes 
http://www.sandvine.com/products/traffic_management.asp

Exinda http://www1.exinda.com/

PacketShaper http://www.packeteer.com/


And there was one recommendation for software 
http://www.dmasoftlab.com/cont/home


I’m currently leaning towards router based policing using
J2320’s which should be more than enough for our needs for the
foreseeable future. It’ll mean a slightly higher learning curve
as I’ve only done basic JUNOS configuration before. My
reasoning however is as follows 1)      Having a single box
handling the routing/policing means one less box to
troubleshoot if any issues arise 2)      JUNOS has a fairly
logical layout, which while it takes a bit of getting used to
is easier to read than ios – oh and the commit/rollback feature
is also nice 3)      The JUNOS web interface – while I prefer
to work at the cli (I don’t trust GUIs) the web interface is
good for a quick glance to check for potential problems by
those who don’t have the cli skills 4)      I need new routers
anyway and have plans to redeploy my Cisco 2821s 5)
$Price$ – easier to convince the boss to sign the cheque

While not a contributing factor I am keen to improve my JUNOS
skills, and in turn my overall routing knowledge

Cheers again for all those who replied

Kind Regards Jodi

Hi All

Currently we’re running a couple of Packeteers (one for each of
our upstreams) to give users a fair slice of the pie. However
they’re starting to wilt under the increased load and it’s time
to look at replacing.

I’ve been looking around at some of the more popular appliances
that I am aware of (Packeteer, Exinda, Netequalizer), however I
don’t want to buy a lemon.

The other thought was to shape directly on the routers – have
a couple of Cisco 2821’s at our borders. I’m familiar with the
shaping process but have never attempted on Cisco kit before so
don’t want to start down that path if it’s the wrong way to go
(especially as I would be the only one who could manage it and
I like the occasional day off).

My main focus to is to shape at the border by IP for different 
classes based on our plans e.g. burst to 4meg, 2meg dedicated,
2.5 burst to 10, etc Secondary to that is reporting and 3rdly
QoS

Any and all advice welcome, on and off list

Cheers Jodi
