      It is still something I would never use.

      I want my router to be a router.

      Heck yeah. Get this instead.

            The infinity is the ER8-XG. See something the same there

              Jeez... The ER-8-XG seems a bit overkill unless you're doing some quite hefty internetting, lol... So does the price tag! (Still priced dang better than a Cisco).

                  ROFL. How many users are actually on campus now?

                      You're still hovering around 500 mb/s for internet, right?

                        @dafyre Yup! This Feb we're going to finally get gig I believe. There's another ISP that's emerged that's threatening our current one :).

                          It's all about 10 Gig ports.

                          I don't know about most of you - but I definitely don't need that.

                          Yeah something in the middle would be kinda nice.

                            There is. See the link to to the full comparison. I was laughing about the comparison from top to nearly bottom.

                              @JaredBusch Do you think they need to offer something between the ERPro-8 and the ER-8-XG?

                                The ER-6P is better than the ER-Pro8 in all but PPS, which seems odd, but shoulder shrug.

                                  Looking at the Comparison link JB Posted, I'd probably check out the ER4 or the ER-6P.

                                    No. There are enough options already.

                                    And the jump to more than gigabit is huge. so there really is no need for something in between. You are jumping from general internet to backbone.

                                      Because it's a firewall only - other than a VPN termination point it shouldn't be doing any application filtering, etc - I'm guessing there really isn't a real need for more than 1 GB of RAM that many of them have.

                                      The 16 GB of RAM on the XG is likely there mostly for cacheing the 10 GB connections.

                                        Right, the CPU count and RAM are for the packet throughput.
