Actually this "Box" is what many customers are asking for .
An VPNv4 RR route server which could scale to couple of hundred
of BGP session and million of VPNV4 prefix .

using a router (built as forwarding optimized hardware and O.S   )as RR 
seems not scaling well (Ajay stated 7200/7300,which by experience showed 
limitation ), i guess that it will be good move if cisco port the RR 
software to W.S .

What are the constraints which prevent cisco to release an RR
based on W.S ?


N.B : The same point raised by AT&T
( Presentation by Luyuan Fang - Principal Technical Staff Member, IP 
NetworkArchitecture, AT&T -  during MPLS world Congress 2003)

VPN RR is out of data path - no packet forwarding is required
Design: Route server may be more suitable than a router
